Performance & Formulation Insights for TC Ruby Red
Engineering an Intense, True Red Satin
TC Ruby Red achieves its deep ruby hue through a dense coating of Iron Oxides (CI 77491) on a natural mica substrate. With a high pigment concentration (41–49%), it delivers exceptional opacity and color saturation, producing a true-to-color satin effect without the high sparkle associated with larger particle pearls.
The carefully engineered coating uniformity results in a sophisticated, modern finish that balances coverage and luster—ideal for premium color cosmetics across eyes, lips, face, and nails.
The Advantage of a Controlled Particle Size
With a particle size range of 10–60 μm, TC Ruby Red is optimized for versatility and a premium skin feel. The range is large enough to impart a noticeable pearlescent sheen while remaining fine enough for a smooth, non-gritty application.
This balance promotes excellent blendability in pressed and loose powders, as well as stable suspension and uniform laydown in liquid and gel systems—supporting consistent, high-quality results across formats.
