Performance & Formulation Insights for Optique DP Green

Achieving Subtle Green Iridescence

Optique DP Green is an interference pigment where a precise layer of Titanium Dioxide is deposited onto a natural mica substrate. This structure refracts light to create a soft green color effect, while the underlying pigment remains white. The fine 6–48 µm particle size is critical to its performance, producing a lustrous satin finish with a gentle shimmer rather than an overt sparkle. This makes it ideal for sophisticated applications where elegance is key.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The natural mica base provides a smooth, creamy texture that enhances the sensory feel of cosmetics. Its platelet structure improves skin adhesion and blendability in pressed and loose powders. As an ISO16128 compliant material, it allows formulators to develop high-performance products that align with the rigorous standards of the natural and clean beauty markets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Optique DP Green

No, the physical powder is an off-white color. The green effect is created by light interference, which means it appears as a green shimmer when applied to a surface.
Due to its fine particle size (6–48 µm), it produces a smooth, pearlescent luster with a satin finish, not a high-impact sparkle or glitter effect.
Yes, Optique DP Green is vegan, cruelty-free, and based on natural mica, making it compliant with ISO16128 standards for natural cosmetics and suitable for clean beauty lines.
Absolutely. It is approved for use in all cosmetic applications, including lip products, where it adds a subtle sheen and smooth texture.
An interference pigment has a transparent coating (in this case, Titanium Dioxide) on a substrate (mica). This coating splits light waves, causing some to reflect and others to be absorbed, which creates a colored reflection (the green effect) that is different from the pigment’s base color.
The fine particle size contributes to the pigment’s smooth feel, excellent skin adhesion, and subtle satin luster, making it ideal for face powders and foundations where a non-sparkly, skin-like finish is desired.
Yes, it is designed to be used alone or combined with other colorants. Blending it over a dark base will intensify the green interference effect, while blending with other colors can create unique duochrome looks.
