Performance & Formulation Insights for Marvel Tangerine

High-Chroma Metallic Payoff

Marvel Tangerine is engineered by depositing a dense layer of Iron Oxides (CI 77491) onto a natural mica substrate. This process produces a pigment with exceptionally high chroma and an intense red-orange masstone. The interaction of light with the coated mica platelets results in a sophisticated satin-metallic effect, avoiding the sparkle of larger particle pigments.

Optimized for High-Definition Cosmetics

With a controlled particle size of 10–40 μm, Marvel Tangerine provides a smooth, homogenous finish that is ideal for modern high-definition makeup. This fine texture ensures that the pigment lays down evenly on the skin, offering excellent coverage and an illuminating patina without settling into fine lines, making it perfect for products viewed through HD cameras.
