Description and Key Features

Liquid Pearlescent Gold is a highly concentrated, yet easily dispersible liquid pigment. Unlike traditional powdered micas, its liquid form allows for seamless incorporation into various cosmetic bases, ensuring a smooth, streak-free finish. Its INCI name, Triethoxysilylethyl polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, denotes its sophisticated composition, allowing for superior adherence and dispersion. While pigments inherently do not dissolve, this product excels at coloring and imparting a brilliant pearlescent effect, scattering light to create a multi-dimensional glow. The convenient liquid format also ensures less mess and greater precision in your formulations. Remember to shake well before use to ensure optimal dispersion of the pearlescent particles.

Cosmetic Recipe: Radiant Golden Liquid Highlighter

Create your own stunning, buildable liquid highlighter with a beautiful golden sheen using Liquid Pearlescent Gold.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, droppers, and final container) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol or a sanitizing solution.
2. Phase A: In a clean beaker, combine the distilled water and glycerin. Stir gently until well mixed.
3. Phase B: In a separate small container, combine the jojoba oil and Polysorbate 20. Mix well.
4. Emulsification: Slowly add Phase B into Phase A while continuously stirring. If using xanthan gum, you can pre-disperse it in the glycerin or a small amount of water before adding to Phase A to avoid clumps. Continue stirring until a uniform, slightly thickened liquid forms.
5. Phase D: Add the Liquid Pearlescent Gold to the mixture. Start with 0.5% and add drop by drop, stirring continuously, until you achieve your desired level of shimmer and color intensity. Follow with your chosen preservative and optional Vitamin E.
6. Final Mix: Stir thoroughly for several minutes to ensure all ingredients are well-dispersed and the pigment is evenly suspended.
7. Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished liquid highlighter into a suitable dropper bottle or pump bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Shake Well Before Use: Always shake well before use to ensure the pearlescent particles are evenly dispersed, as they may settle over time.
• Dosage: The recommended input percentage for Liquid Pearlescent Gold is 0.3 - 5%. Start with a lower percentage (e.g., 0.5-1%) for a subtle glow and gradually increase if you desire a more intense shimmer. Remember, a little goes a long way!
• Integration: Add Liquid Pearlescent Gold as one of the last ingredients in your formulation, after the main base has been formed but before adding heat-sensitive components (if any). Always add drop by drop to precisely control the color and shimmer.
• Compatibility: This pigment is highly versatile, but always perform a small test batch to ensure compatibility with your specific formulation and to check for any settling or color changes over time.
• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place. The Liquid Pearlescent Gold itself has an unlimited shelf life, but the shelf life of your finished product will depend on your other ingredients and preservation system.
