Performance & Formulation Insights for Optique DP Super Violet

The Science of Interference Color

Optique DP Super Violet leverages thin-film interference to generate color. Natural mica platelets are coated with a precise layer of titanium dioxide that selectively reflects violet wavelengths while transmitting others. The result is a dynamic, angle-dependent violet effect that appears as a white powder in the jar yet applies with a luminous violet sheen on the skin.

Formulation Advantages of a Satin Pearl Finish

The 10–60 µm particle size delivers a refined satin-to-pearl finish—distinct from high-sparkle glitter. It lays down as a smooth, continuous film with excellent slip and a non-gritty feel, making it ideal for lip products, foundations, high-coverage eyeshadows, and other formulas where a silky texture is essential.
