Performance & Formulation Insights for TC Bright Silver

Achieving a Classic Bright Silver Effect

TC Bright Silver utilizes a natural mica substrate coated with a precise layer of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). This engineered structure reflects light to create a classic, bright silvery-white pearl effect. With a particle size of 10-60 μm, it balances coverage and shimmer to deliver a smooth, refined metallic finish rather than a glittery sparkle. Tin Oxide functions as a performance stabilizer, supporting consistent color and effect across batches.

Technical Formulation Advantages

This pigment’s composition makes it highly versatile and easy to incorporate into a wide range of cosmetic systems. Its fine particle size ensures a smooth, non-gritty texture that is comfortable for lip and face applications.

As a natural mica-based pearl, it demonstrates excellent stability in both anhydrous and emulsion formats, enabling consistent results in pressed powders, creams, gels, and lotions.
