Performance & Formulation Insights for Marvel Orange

Achieving High-Chroma Metallic Effects

Marvel Orange achieves its intense metallic orange hue through a precise coating of iron oxides on a natural mica substrate. The controlled particle size (30–80 μm) is engineered to maximize light reflection, creating a smooth, illuminating patina rather than a coarse glitter. The inclusion of silica refines the texture, enhancing slip and blendability for a luxurious feel upon application.

Formulation Versatility & Clean Beauty Alignment

This pigment’s composition offers excellent stability and performance across diverse cosmetic systems. The natural mica base provides superior adhesion and press-ability in powders, while it disperses with ease in liquids and anhydrous formulas. As a TiO2-free and natural pigment, Marvel Orange enables formulators to meet clean beauty expectations without compromising on color intensity or performance.
