Mica Pink mineral pigment for color and pearlescent effect in formulations
Mica Pink is a finely milled mineral pigment based on mica coated with colorants to achieve a pink shade. It is used to create visual effects, improve appearance, and provide controlled color in cosmetic and decorative products. The pigment delivers a soft sheen and stable color without dissolving in the system.
Properties of Mica Pink
Mica Pink provides a uniform pink tone with a light reflective effect. It is stable under light and heat conditions typical for cosmetic processing. The particles remain suspended when properly dispersed and do not bleed or migrate. The pigment does not dissolve in water or oils and maintains its structure in the formulation.
Application of Mica Pink
Mica Pink is used in pressed powders, loose powders, lip products, soaps, bath products, and decorative applications. It is suitable for cosmetic manufacturing, craft production, and private label development where visual consistency is required.
Behavior in formulation
Mica Pink is incorporated as a dispersed pigment. In oil based systems it is recommended to pre blend with a small amount of oil to achieve even distribution. In water based systems it remains suspended and requires proper mixing. In dry products it blends directly with powders.
Formulation incorporation
Mica Pink is typically used at 0.2 to 5 percent for light tint and up to 10 percent for more intense color. The level depends on the desired visual effect and product type.
