Technical Profile & Formulation Advantages of Optique DP Gold

The Science of Interference and Satin Finish

Optique DP Gold masterfully demonstrates the principle of light interference. While the powder appears white in its base form, its natural mica platelets are precisely coated with Titanium Dioxide. This coating selectively reflects light in the gold spectrum, creating a brilliant color-flop effect when applied to a surface. The controlled particle size of 10–60 μm is key to its signature satin finish, delivering a uniform, pearlescent glow rather than a distracting sparkle.

Formulation Benefits of a Natural Mica Base

The natural mica substrate provides significant functional advantages for formulators. Its lamellar structure ensures a smooth, silky texture that improves the feel and application of any cosmetic product. This structure also promotes excellent skin adhesion, leading to longer wear times. The inherent transparency of the mica allows the interference effect to perform with maximum chromaticity and brightness.
