Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for Impact Silver Satin

Engineering a Flawless Satin Effect

Impact Silver Satin achieves its signature smooth, silver luster through the precise coating of Titanium Dioxide on a natural mica substrate. The fine particle size (below 15 µm) is critical to its performance, scattering light to create a soft-focus, radiant effect rather than a high-impact sparkle. This makes it an ideal choice for complexion products where a natural, luminous finish is desired.

Enhancing Texture and Application Feel

Beyond its optical properties, Impact Silver Satin functions as a versatile texturizer. The fine, plate-like structure of the mica base provides exceptional slip and a silky feel, improving the blend-ability of both powder and liquid formulas. This sensory benefit allows formulators to create products that not only look superior but also feel luxurious upon application.
