Performance & Formulation Insights for MicaMira ROY66

Engineering the Warm-Spectrum Color Shift

MicaMira ROY66 achieves its dynamic violet-red to orange-yellow color travel through a sophisticated, multi-layer process where ultra-thin films of silica and iron oxides are precisely deposited onto a natural mica substrate. This engineered stack manipulates thin-film interference, reflecting different wavelengths at different angles to produce a vivid, fluid color transition with exceptional depth and movement in finished cosmetics.

The Advantage of a Fine Particle Size

With a particle size range of 10–40 μm, MicaMira ROY66 is tuned for a smooth, satin-like finish rather than overt sparkle. The finer texture enhances coverage, improves skin feel, and blends seamlessly across application types. For formulators, this enables elegant, high-performance products with a refined, metallic-like effect and no gritty texture.
