pearl pigment

Pearl pigment for cosmetics delivers the luminous, multi-dimensional shimmer that defines modern color cosmetics — from eyeshadows and highlighters to lip glosses and tinted moisturizers. At Kolortek, we formulate cosmetic pearl solutions across mica-based, borosilicate, and synthetic fluorphlogopite substrates, each engineered to meet specific performance, regulatory, and aesthetic requirements. Selecting the right cosmetic pigment depends on particle size, substrate chemistry, surface treatment, and the market's regulatory framework.

Cosmetic grade pearl pigment from Kolortek is manufactured to meet the heavy metal and microbiological limits required by major regulatory frameworks — EU EC 1223/2009, US FDA, China CSAR, and Japan MHLW — and is available across three substrate platforms: natural mica, synthetic mica (fluorphlogopite), and borosilicate glass. Particle sizes range from 5–25 μm for smooth foundation-grade finishes up to 60–300 μm for bold highlighter and loose powder sparkle. As a direct manufacturer with 20+ years in effect pigments, we supply pearlescent pigment in volumes ranging from sampling quantities through full production runs, with TDS, COA, SDS, INCI declarations, and heavy metal test reports provided as standard.

Private label pearlescent mica pigment manufacturing allows brands to source factory-direct effect pigments with custom packaging and branding—eliminating middleman markup while maintaining full control over product presentation. At Kolortek, we produce natural and synthetic mica-based pearlescent pigments across multiple series (KT-100 Silver White, KT-200 Interference, KT-300 Gold, KT-500 Metal Luster, KT-6000 Multicolor, KT-7000 Synstar synthetic mica) and offer OEM/ODM services from sample sachets to bulk industrial containers, enabling cosmetic brands, coatings formulators, and specialty ink manufacturers to launch branded pigment lines without capital investment in production infrastructure.

Wholesale silver white pearl pigment from China combines the brilliant metallic luster of TiO₂-coated mica with factory-direct pricing and flexible bulk ordering. Our KT-100 Silver White series spans particle sizes from 5 µm satin finishes to 200 µm coarse sparkle grades, serving automotive basecoats, decorative coatings, plastics, and printing inks where a clean, bright silver-white effect is required at scale.

Kolortek supplies wholesale pearlescent pigment direct from our manufacturing facility in China — covering seven product series from standard natural mica grades to synthetic mica and borosilicate platforms, available in multiple particle size distributions. Whether you're scaling a new formulation or securing a reliable long-term supply chain, we work directly with formulators and procurement teams to match the right grade to the right application, with batch-to-batch consistency and full technical support from first sample to full-volume order.

Edible glitter dust and pearlescent food dust are mica-based powders used to apply shimmer, gloss, and metallic effects to cakes, chocolates, cocktails, and a wide range of confections. Formulated from food-safe ingredients and compliant with international food safety standards, these powders deliver gold, silver, pearl, and vivid color effects directly on edible surfaces. Where visual presentation drives product value — from bakery counters to craft cocktails — this category of decoration material has become a standard tool in both artisan and industrial food finishing.

Pearlescent pigment for resin is widely used in epoxy systems to create shimmer, metallic luster, and deep color-shift finishes across decorative surfaces. These dry powder and paste pigments integrate directly into epoxy formulations, delivering visual depth that standard colorants cannot achieve. From poured epoxy floors to cast countertops, pearl pigment for epoxy resin has become a standard choice wherever decorative resin work demands a polished, high-impact appearance.

KT-699143 is a blue pearlescent synthetic mica pigment built on a fluorphlogopite base, delivering clean, saturated shimmer with strong reflectance — a reliable choice for decorative cosmetics and personal care formulations. As a cosmetic pigment powder, it produces a dual optical effect: silver pearl from the reflection angle and vivid blue from the side, making it particularly effective in eyeshadows, blushers, and nail applications. Formulators working with pearl pigment powder will find the high-purity synthetic mica base directly reduces black spot contamination and maintains color consistency across batches.

KT-699141 is a dark blue mica pigment built on a synthetic mica base, delivering a clean silver-to-blue dual-angle effect with strong pearl depth and consistent batch-to-batch color. Formulated specifically for cosmetic use, it performs well in eyeshadows, face powders, and pressed compacts where optical clarity and skin compatibility are non-negotiable. As a cosmetic mica pigment engineered for decorative applications, it offers the kind of visual richness that natural mica alternatives rarely match at this particle size range.

KT-68835 is a violet green mica pearl pigment from Kolortek's Cosmetic Multicolor Series, delivering a striking dual-angle color shift — silver-white from the reflection angle, deep violet-green from the side — in a fine, smooth powder form. Designed specifically for cosmetic-grade applications, it performs consistently in eye area products like eyeshadows and liners, as well as face powders and blushers. Formulators working with colour mica powder for decorative cosmetics will find the shimmer intensity and compliance profile immediately workable.

KT-500 is a bronze mica pigment built on natural mica flakes coated with ferric oxide, delivering a warm, rich metallic luster with strong opacity — a direct functional match to the iriodin effect found in Merck's widely specified 500-series. Suited for decorative coatings, epoxy floors, and cosmetic formulations where consistent, high-coverage metallic bronze is required, KT-500 is a well-established iriodin 500 equivalent used by formulators across multiple industries.

KT-300 is a gold pearl pigment built on natural mica coated with titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and tin oxide — producing a warm, semi-transparent metallic luster that closely matches the visual output of Merck's Iriodin 300 Gold Pearl. Designed as a cost-effective iriodin 300 equivalent, it performs consistently across coatings, printing inks, and cosmetic formulations where a rich, dimensional gold effect is required.
