Bordeaux Liquid Metallic Pearl 1 L

A rich wine-toned pigment built for large-scale manufacturing lines

Liquid metallic pearl pigments have become a core tool for coloring across decorative cosmetics, personal care, household chemical products, candle making, and even polymer coloring, with global demand extending well beyond hobbyist use. This Bordeaux shade in a 1 liter container is designed specifically for bulk and continuous production runs where batch-to-batch color consistency matters. The product belongs to the Liquid Metallic Pearl category, which brings together ready-to-use pearlescent dispersions that require no pre-mixing or grinding before application.

The most common use of Bordeaux liquid pearl is coloring clear and semi-transparent gel formulations — shower gels, liquid soaps, shampoos, hair conditioners, and gel candles poured into glass containers or silicone molds. Its liquid form allows the pigment to disperse evenly through the base without clumping or streaking, which is particularly important on automated filling lines. In cosmetic and fragrance manufacturing, this shade is valued for giving products a deep, wine-toned shimmer that reads as rich and elegant rather than flat or matte, especially in clear gel textures.

In household chemical production, this pigment is frequently blended into liquid detergents, fabric softeners, and gel fillers for decorative candles, where long-term color stability during storage is just as important as visual appeal. Typical dosage ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total product weight, depending on the desired shimmer intensity and the transparency of the base. It is best added at the final stage of production, once the mixture has cooled to around 40-45 degrees Celsius, which protects the pearl particles from breaking down and preserves their light-reflecting quality.

Bordeaux liquid pearl blends well with other shades from the same line, allowing manufacturers to build custom gradients and signature color combinations. For a warmer undertone, it pairs nicely with Gold Liquid Metallic Pearl 10 ml, while a cooler contrast can be achieved with Red Liquid Metallic Pearl 10 ml. A softer, milkier undertone is easily introduced with Pearl Liquid Metallic Pearl, 10 ml, when a slightly muted final tone is preferred.

Store the liquid pearl in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and at stable room temperature, since heat fluctuations can affect the uniformity of the dispersion over time. Give the container a gentle shake before each use, as natural settling of particles may occur during extended storage. The 1 liter size is well suited to workshops and production facilities running regular batches, as well as to teams scaling up a formula before moving into full manufacturing.

Wine shimmer gel candle

Gel candle wax base 500 g

Bordeaux Liquid Metallic Pearl 8 ml

Grape fragrance oil 5 ml

Cotton wick with tab 1 pc

Melt the gel wax base over a double boiler until fully liquid, keeping the temperature below 90 degrees Celsius. Remove from heat and let it cool to around 60-65 degrees, then stir in the fragrance oil thoroughly. Add the liquid pearl gradually in small amounts, mixing until the color is evenly distributed throughout the gel. Secure the wick in a glass container, carefully pour in the gel, and allow it to set at room temperature for 6-8 hours, away from drafts and direct sunlight.
