Performance & Formulation Insights for Optique DP Red

Engineering a Subtle Satin Sheen

Optique DP Red achieves its signature red interference and satin finish through a precise coating of Titanium Dioxide on a natural mica substrate. The fine particle size range of 6–48 µm is critical for producing a smooth, low-luster pearlescence rather than a high-impact sparkle.

This controlled particle distribution allows formulators to deliver products with a sophisticated, luminous glow that enhances natural beauty—ideal for applications where elegance and subtlety are preferred over glittery effects.

Versatility Across Cosmetic Systems

The stable, inert nature of this mica-based pigment ensures excellent compatibility across a wide range of formulations. It disperses effortlessly in anhydrous systems, powders, and emulsions, maintaining its color integrity and silky texture.

This versatility makes Optique DP Red a workhorse ingredient for adding a touch of radiance to everything from lipsticks and foundations to nail lacquers and finishing powders.
