Performance & Formulation Insights for Optique Pearl Gold

The Science of Iridescent Gold Luster

Optique Pearl Gold achieves its classic pearlescent effect through the precise coating of Titanium Dioxide onto natural mica platelets. This optical process separates white light into its component parts, creating a dual-color effect—one by reflection and one by transmission. The result is a bright, lustrous gold shimmer with depth and dimension, providing a more sophisticated finish than standard metallic pigments.

Broad Application & Formulation Stability

With a particle size of 10–60 μm, Optique Pearl Gold balances shimmer and smoothness for high versatility. It is chemically inert and stable across a wide pH range, ensuring consistent performance in emulsions, anhydrous formulas, and solvent-based systems. Its natural mica base contributes a soft, smooth skin feel in finished products.
