Performance & Formulation Insights for Mystic Light Red
A Modern, High-Purity Red Alternative
Mystic Light Red is engineered as a superior, vegan alternative to traditional carmine-based red pigments. By coating natural mica platelets with FD&C Red 40 Al Lake, it delivers a bright, stable, and consistent red hue with a subtle satin luster. This composition avoids the formulation challenges and sourcing concerns associated with carmine, providing a reliable solution for clean and conscious beauty brands.
Optimized for Smoothness and Coverage
With a controlled particle size of 10–60 μm, this pigment is designed to provide exceptional coverage while maintaining a smooth, non-gritty texture. The fine platelets lay flat on the skin, creating a uniform film of color that feels luxurious and applies evenly. This makes it highly versatile, performing flawlessly in everything from delicate lip formulas to high-impact eyeshadows.
