Cosmetic Grade Pearlescent Pigment

Pearlescent pigments are the most important colorants in cosmetic cosmetics for the face, lips, eyes and nails. The use of pearlescent pigments has expanded from classic color cosmetics to personal care products, including skin and hair care products, and to provide unique aesthetic effects.

Pearlescent pigments are composed of substances with higher refractive indices, which act as interference filters in ambient media with low refractive indices. These filters divide the incident light reaching the interface between materials with different refractive indices at a suitable angle into reflected light and transmitted light parts of complementary colors (incident light at other angles can also be absorbed and reflected). This effect is the same phenomenon we observe in our daily life, such as soap bubbles, spilled oils, and the color of pearls.
