Impact Pearls Our Impact white and silver pigments provide a soft white to silver color. Impact white pigments vary in luster from silky and smooth to very sparkly, depending upon particle size and distribution. Our Impact Pigments are Titanium Oxide coated on a Mica substrate. Optique Iridescence Impact Color’s Optique pigments are used to create lustrous or opalescent effects in all types of cosmetics and personal care products. Optique iridescent pigments use thin, precisely controlled coatings of titanium dioxide on mica platelets to separate white light into its component parts and produce dual colors, one by reflection and one by transmission, which then appear as iridescent luminosity.

Eldorado Metallics Eldorado metallic and earth tone colors offer deep, warm tones. Eldorado pigments can be used alone, blended together or added as accents to other colors. They add metallic depth and highlights to eye shadows, eyeliners, lipsticks, nail enamels, shampoos, soaps and many other personal care formulations. Many Eldorado pigments are perfect for suncare products. Eldorado luster pigments are free-flowing powders that can be used alone or blended with other effect-enhancing pigments to increase visual impact. Eldorado Gold Eldorado gold pigments are composed of mica coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxide. A wide array of gold shades are obtained by differing particle sizes and the ratio of iron oxide to titanium dioxide. Eldorado gold pearls are useful for a wide variety of decorative cosmetic and personal care products where a golden luster or sparkle effect is desired. They can also be used in all types of gels or emulsions, either to provide a golden glitter effect in the product itself or a golden sheen when applied to the skin.

Chromatique Colors Impact’s Chromatique pigments provide intense and dramatic colors and a variety of pearlescent effects to many types of cosmetic and personal care products. Our Chromatique pigments contains an absorption colorant deposited on either a mica substrate or an interference pearl base, providing a much more intense and rich color effect. In grades using an interference base, the colorant is selected to reinforce the reflection color of the interference pigment. The result is a single color dramatically enhanced through the reflection color complimenting the transition color. Midnight Colors Impact’s Midnight Colors provide a deep rich coloration and tone that evokes the mysteries of the night. This rich pallet of color is inspired from our selection of mica based pearl pigments.

Bichroma Colors Bichroma colors offer a soft elegant luster, excellent transparency and a satiny effect. Bichroma colors are bonded to bismuth oxychloride that is coated onto mica. This composite pigment imparts a silky feel to many cosmetic and personal care formulations while improving skin adhesion and wear ability. Biluna Bismuth Biluna pigments are pure bismuth oxychloride pigments that impart a rich satiny luster, excellent covering power and optimal compressibility and binding characteristics to cosmetics. Biluna’s soft optical effects help to gently defuse ambient light helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Biluna’s are available in a variety of particle sizes and bulk densities, and are particularly well- suited for long-wearing product applications. Some Biluna pigment grades are UV resistant. Biluna Bismuth Oxy Chloride crystals can be used for anhydrous nail enamels; anhydrous products such as lipstick and eye shadow; aqueous products such as liquid foundations, lotions and other personal care products.

Fiesta Flurophogopite Sashet & Gold Fiesta pigments are available in silver, gold, interference and metallic colors. The substrate is synthetic and therefore very consistent with little lot to lot variation. Because the synthetic substrate is more transparent the Fiesta pigments provide better luster, stronger chroma, are brighter and the colors are cleaner. The substrate is produced free of heavy metals and bacterial contamination. The synthetic substrate for our Fiesta Pigments produces a pigment more resistant to breakage. Fiesta pigments made with synthetic substrates appear to be easier to disperse in most systems.

Diamond Silicates Diamond pearlescent and iridescent pigments deliver exceptionally dramatic optical effects, including significant depth, sparkle and very intense spectral colors. Our Diamond pigments achieve exceptionally high levels of chromaticity, color purity, brightness, transparency and reflectivity. Diamond pigments offer the ability to create a brilliant, star-like glitter effect based on their smooth surfaces and large particle size. They also produce a true multicolor effect, when two or more Diamond shades are blended. Diamond pigments also can add great visual depth and dimensionality, because their novel substrate has a high level of transparency.

Kaleidoscope Colors Kaleidoscope iridescent pigments use thin, precisely controlled coatings of titanium dioxide on Silicate platelets to separate white light into multiple component parts and produce up to four dramatic and distinct interference colors, three by reflection and one by transmission, which then appear as iridescent luminosity with exceptional eye catching appeal! Gemini Colors Gemini iridescent pigments produce a distinctive dual-color appearance, creating striking and dramatic effects. All Gemini pigments are based on TiO2 coated mica coated with an additional thin layer of a contrasting colored pigment. Light interference from the titanium dioxide layer produces a reflection color seen as a colored highlight, while the colored pigment imparts a background color by the absorbed light. The colored iridescent highlight contrasts with the background color. The interplay between the background and highlight colors in Gemini iridescent pigments cannot be duplicated by any combination of interference pigments blended with conventional colorants.
