Technical Profile: TC Silk Satin
The Science of a Refined Satin Finish
TC Silk Satin achieves its soft, pearlescent luster by coating fine (2–18 μm) natural mica platelets with a precise layer of Titanium Dioxide. This engineered structure creates multiple reflective interfaces, producing a gentle, satin glow rather than a high-sparkle effect. Its small particle size enables a smooth feel and semi-transparent coverage that enhances, rather than masks, the skin’s natural appearance.
Formulation Benefits for Texture & Feel
Beyond optics, TC Silk Satin functions as a powerful texturizer. Its plate-like morphology delivers exceptional slip, improving payout and blendability in color cosmetics. In powders, it reduces dryness and chalkiness while enhancing press-ability. In creams and liquids, it contributes balanced slip and a luxurious, non-greasy skin feel that elevates overall sensorial performance.
