Understanding the Performance of Fiesta Shimmer Canary Gold
The Advantage of Synthetic Mica Substrate
Fiesta Shimmer Canary Gold is built on a synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) substrate. Unlike natural mica, this lab-created base offers superior purity, consistency, and brightness. The result is a cleaner, more vibrant color and a brighter shimmer effect, as light reflects off a smooth, uniform platelet surface. This purity is a key advantage for formulators targeting clean beauty markets.
Engineering a High-Impact Sparkle
The bright canary gold effect is achieved by coating the synthetic mica platelets with precise layers of Titanium Dioxide and Tin Oxide. With a particle size of 25–100 μm, it is intentionally larger than standard pearl pigments, creating a distinct sparkling effect rather than a subtle satin sheen—ideal for standout shades and statement finishes.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Exceptional Sparkle & Brightness: Large particle size and a high-purity synthetic base deliver a brilliant gold sparkle with superior luminosity.
- Clean Beauty Foundation: Synthetic mica supports higher purity and low heavy metal content compared to many natural micas.
- Versatile & Stable: Performs across powders, gels, and solvent-based systems for consistent, reliable sparkle.
- Smooth Application Feel: Despite larger particles, the smooth platelets provide a comfortable, non-gritty application.
