Technical Profile: Formulating with Impact Glitter Pearl MWL-153

Achieving Brilliant Sparkle and Luster

Impact Glitter Pearl MWL-153 utilizes a large, natural mica substrate (20–100 μm) coated with a precise layer of titanium dioxide. This combination of a large platelet size and a highly reflective metal oxide coating maximizes light reflection, creating a brilliant, high-impact shimmer with a classic silver-white pearl luster. The semi-transparent nature of the pigment allows the base color of a formulation to show through, adding multi-dimensional appeal.

Formulation & Application Advantages

The robust nature of this mica-based pigment ensures stability and performance across a wide range of cosmetic systems. It disperses easily in oils, esters, and silicones for anhydrous formats like pressed powders and lip gloss. It also remains stable in solvent and aqueous environments such as nail polish and water-based gels, providing consistent, high-impact sparkle without degrading.
