Performance & Formulation Insights for TC Cherry

Crafting the Perfect Satin Red

TC Cherry achieves its deep, wine-red hue and elegant satin luster through the precise coating of natural mica platelets with a high concentration of Iron Oxides (CI 77491). A small amount of Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) is used to fine-tune the luster and opacity, resulting in a pigment that provides both intense color and a sophisticated, smooth finish without a coarse sparkle.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The controlled particle size range of 10-60 μm ensures a perfect balance between color intensity and skin feel. This distribution allows for high coverage while maintaining a soft, blendable texture that is ideal for a wide range of cosmetic applications.

Its natural mica base provides excellent slip and adhesion, improving the wear time and application experience of the final product.
