FAQ

Product Questions

Common questions about our pearlescent pigments.

What is the difference between synthetic mica and natural mica?
Synthetic mica (fluorphlogopite) is manufactured in a lab, resulting in higher purity, brighter white color, and smoother platelets compared to natural mica. This leads to superior brilliance and color clarity in the final application.
How do chameleon pigments work?
Chameleon pigments utilize advanced multi-layer thin-film technology. As the angle of light or viewing perspective changes, the layers interfere with light waves differently, creating a dynamic shift between two or more distinct colors.
Are borosilicate pigments safe for cosmetics?
Yes. Our borosilicate-based pearlescent pigments are manufactured to comply with global cosmetic-grade standards. They are non-toxic, safe for skin contact, and widely used in lipsticks, eyeshadows, and nail polishes.
What is the particle size range for your pearlescent pigments?
We offer a wide range of particle sizes. Finer particles (5-25 µm) provide a silky satin effect, medium particles (10-60 µm) offer classic pearl lustre, and coarser particles (10-125 µm) create strong sparkle and glitter effects.
Can you match custom chameleon effects?
Yes. Our technical team can work with your physical samples or digital color standards to recommend the right chameleon grade or develop a custom formulation to meet your specific color-shifting requirements.
