Technical Profile: Achieving High-Chroma Gold with Marvel Gold
The Synergy of Mica, Iron Oxides, and Silica
Marvel Gold is engineered on a natural mica substrate that offers a smooth, plate-like structure for uniform laydown and strong reflectivity. This base is coated with a high concentration of Iron Oxides (CI 77491), the primary chromophore responsible for its rich, opaque gold tone and metallic patina. A final silica treatment enhances color stability, improves slip and skin feel, and adds a subtle diffusion to soften hotspots under bright lighting—ideal for HD environments.
Formulation Benefits for HD Makeup
The carefully controlled 30–80 μm particle size balances coverage and sparkle to deliver a strong metallic effect without visible glitter. This prevents a pixelated appearance and supports a smooth, even finish on camera. The result is a luminous, high-chroma gold that reads cleanly in photography and film while maintaining a refined, professional texture.
Key Formulation Benefits
