Cloisonne® Series – Metallic Look Effect Pigments

Cloisonné effect enhancing pigments impart dramatic color and varied pearlescent effects. They are available in a variety of grades that provide different degrees of luster, ranging from a soft, satiny look to high sparkle. To provide such highly intense color, each Cloisonné pigment contains an absorption colorant deposited on either a mica substrate or an interference pearl base. In grades that use an interference base, the colorant is selected to reinforce the reflection color of the interference pigment. The result is a single dramatic reflection/transmission color.

Gemtone® Series – Color Pigments

Gemtone Colors offer a wide range of jewel-like, lustrous colors for distinctive cosmetics and personal care products. Like certain precious gems, these rich colorants derive color from both light interference and light absorption. Gemtone Colors contain titanium dioxide coated mica that is further combined with absorption pigments, which produce colors of unique liveliness and intensity.

Reflecks™ MultiDimensions  and MultiReflections – Color Changing Pigments

Chroma-Lite® Series – For Luster and Transparency

Chroma-Lite Colors contain bismuth oxychloride crystals deposited on mica platelets. These high-value composite pigments combine the performance benefits of both materials to give better transparency and less density than bismuth oxychloride alone. The mica substrate improves crystal strength, so less Pearlescence is lost as cosmetic products are processed. They offer an excellent balance of luster, transparency, and color while imparting a silky feel and improving skin adhesion. They are ideal for mineral makeup.

Timica® Series – Luster Pigments

Timica luster pigments impart shimmering effects, both as white pigments in a variety of lusters and as color pigments in a range of “metallic” and earth tones. They are free flowing powders that can be used alone or blended with other effect enhancing pigments to improve visual impact.

Cellini® Series
Link clean, intense, FDA-approved organic colors with iridescent effect pigments. Cellini colors offer a luminescent look that adds bright colors and dimensionality. The pre dispersed organic pigment can help you avoid the task of grinding, deagglomerating and dispersing stand-alone organic colorants.

Duocrome Series

Duocrome Iridescent Colors are lustrous pigments that produce a distinctive two-color look, creating striking effects in many cosmetic and personal care products. The interplay between background and highlight colors in Ducrome iridescent colors is truly unique and cannot be duplicated by any combination of interference pigments and conventional colorants. These pigments contain titanium dioxide-coated mica particles that are then coated with a thin layer of 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 light absorption. When the pigment is used, the colored highlight contrasts with the background color. The Ducrome iridescent colors available provide a range of two-color effects.
