What's Included in the Dyes, Pearlescents and Glitters Section

This section covers colouring and decorative ingredients for cosmetic formulations: dry and liquid pigments, titanium dioxide, pearlescent and oil soluble dyes, glitters and mica fillers. These are functional raw materials used to add colour or a pearlescent or shimmer effect to finished cosmetic products.

The components are used in the production of decorative cosmetics, creams, balms and other formulations requiring colour or visual effect. The section includes subgroups such as Colorants and Pigments and separately Metallic Powder, Glitters, Mica.

Varieties and How They Differ

Pigments vary by solubility: dry pigments and titanium dioxide suit oil or powder based formulations, while liquid pigments and dyes work in finished emulsions where even colour distribution matters. Oil soluble dyes are chosen when a standard water soluble pigment fails to distribute evenly in an oil base.

Pearlescent powders and glitters differ by particle size and effect type: fine pearlescent powders give a soft sheen, while coarser mica and glitters create a bold decorative shimmer. Selection depends on the base consistency, oil, water or powder, and the desired visual outcome.

Selection and Compatible Ingredients

Dyes in this section combine well with emulsifiers, cosmetic oils and thickeners from other catalogue sections, as well as raw materials from the Face Masks, Scrubs, and Dried Flowers section when a decorative effect is needed in a mask formulation. Compatibility with the base formulation is the main selection criterion.

For example titanium dioxide is often used as a base white pigment, while white liquid pigment suits finished emulsions. Shades such as yellow, orange, green, red and blue allow a formulator to build a full colour palette.

Origin, Storage and Packaging

Some items are supplied from China, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, India, the USA and England. Store pigments and pearlescents in a dry place away from direct light, in tightly sealed packaging, moisture exposure can cause dry colourants to clump. Liquid pigments, including brown liquid pearlescent pigment, should be stored at room temperature, avoiding temperature swings and direct heat.

For a wider range of bulk pack sizes the section includes a subsection called Metallic Mica Powder, Glitters, Mica Wholesale and a subsection for Cosmetic Pigments and Colorants Wholesale, while the Packaging for Cosmetics and Perfumes section covers packaging for finished products. A wider range of related raw materials is available under Cosmetic Raw Materials, and Fragrance Oils are useful for scenting a formulation.

FAQ

What's included in the Dyes, Pearlescents and Glitters section?

The section includes dry and liquid pigments, titanium dioxide, pearlescent and oil soluble dyes, glitters and mica fillers, raw materials for colouring and decorative effects in cosmetic formulations.

How do liquid pigments differ from dry ones?

Liquid pigments are used in finished emulsions where even colour distribution matters, while dry pigments and titanium dioxide suit oil or powder based formulations.

Do you provide COA and SDS for dyes and pigments?

Yes, COA, SDS and MSDS documents are available on request, particularly for larger orders, mention this when placing your order by email.

How should dry pigments and pearlescents be stored?

Store in a dry place away from direct light, in tightly sealed packaging, moisture exposure can cause the powder to clump and lose colour uniformity.

Are oil soluble dyes suitable for oil based formulations?

Yes, oil soluble dyes are specifically designed for oil bases, where a standard water soluble pigment would not distribute evenly.

Can I order a trial batch before a full order?

Yes, orders are placed by email and batch size is arranged individually, from trial quantities to full lots, assembly takes three to five business days.

Recommendations

When choosing a dye and pearlescent pigment supplier, shade consistency from batch to batch is the first thing worth checking. Mylo Opt has supplied pigments, pearlescents and glitters for over twelve years, provides COA and SDS on request and assembles orders within three to five business days. Place your order by email with the shade and volume you need.
