Performance & Formulation Insights for Impact Silver Rutile

Engineering a Classic Satin Pearl

Impact Silver Rutile achieves its signature satin luster through the precise coating of Titanium Dioxide on a natural mica substrate. The rutile crystalline form of TiO2 is specifically utilized to create a fine, smooth pearl effect with high reflectivity and a bright white appearance. This stands in contrast to matte pigments, offering formulators a tool for creating luminosity and a soft-focus glow.

Functional Benefits in Formulation

Beyond its optical properties, Impact Silver Rutile is valued for its functional benefits. The natural mica platelet structure provides remarkable slip and a luxurious feel, improving the texture and application of finished products. Its semi-transparent nature allows formulators to build radiance without making the formula heavy or opaque, making it a versatile ingredient for everything from foundations to finishing powders.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Refined Satin Luster: Creates a bright, smooth pearl effect for a sophisticated, luminous finish in all types of color cosmetics.
  • Enhanced Texture & Feel: The natural mica base provides superior slip and a silky texture, improving the overall sensory experience of the product.
