mica powder for cosmetics

KT-68840221 is a pink borosilicate-based diamond effect pigment delivering intense sparkle and high transparency across cosmetic formulations. Its large, smooth flake geometry generates a multi-dimensional brilliance that conventional pearlescents cannot replicate — making it particularly suited for eyeshadow and decorative face products. Formulators working with eyeshadow pigment powder blends will find its color depth and reflection index immediately functional at low loading levels.

KT-699135 is a dark purple mica pearlescent pigment built on a synthetic mica base, delivering a dual-angle optical effect — silver reflection at face angle, deep violet-purple at the side — with clean, high-chroma results suited for demanding cosmetic formulations. As a refined synthetic mica powder, it outperforms natural mica in luster, temperature stability, and batch consistency, making it a reliable choice for color cosmetics and personal care product development. Formulators working with eyeshadows, highlighters, and lip products will find the particle size range and optical behavior particularly well-suited to pigment-rich applications.

KT-68824B is a red-blue pearlescent pigment from Kolortek's Cosmetic Multicolor Series, built on a natural mica base with Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, and Prussian Blue to deliver a vivid dual-tone shimmer effect. Designed specifically as mica powder for cosmetics, it performs across a range of decorative formulations — from eyeshadows and highlighters to lip products and personal care applications. The visual shift between reflection and dispersion angles gives finished products a refined, dimensional color play that reads well in both direct and ambient lighting.

FD&C Red 40 Aluminum Lake at 24–30% dye content is a high-strength, insoluble red pigment used across cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical applications where a non-migrating red colorant is required. The lake form of Allura Red AC (CI 16035) is precipitated onto an alumina substrate, producing a dispersible powder that holds its color in wax, oil, and anhydrous matrices without the bleed or migration issues associated with the soluble dye form. At 24–30% dye loading, it delivers consistent tinting strength and is suited for formulations where color depth and regulatory compliance need to be met simultaneously.

FD&C Blue 1 Lake is a dual-listed colorant — approved under both FDA food additive and cosmetic colorant regulations — making it one of the few blue pigments formulators can specify across personal care, nail, and certain food-contact or food-adjacent product categories without switching colorant systems. As a lake form of Brilliant Blue FCF (CI 42090), it is insoluble in water and most cosmetic solvents, which eliminates the dye migration issues that affect soluble FD&C Blue 1 in wax, oil, and pressed powder matrices.

Kolortek's Cosmetic Multicolor Pearl Pigment series covers seven sub-series built on natural mica, synthetic mica, calcium aluminum borosilicate, and blended substrates, each combined with cosmetic-grade colorants to produce a broad range of colored pearlescent effects. The series is formulated specifically for decorative cosmetic and personal care applications, with ingredient selection aligned to cosmetic regulatory requirements across multiple markets. Color options span from classic interference tones through vivid pigment-enhanced shades to diamond-sparkle borosilicate grades.
