Brown Metallic Pearl Additive for Transparent Formulations
This brown liquid mica pigment in a 10 ml bottle is formulated for blending into water-based and gel formulations where maintaining transparency matters while still achieving a deep shimmering finish. It belongs to the category of Liquid mica pigment concentrates, which disperse smoothly without clumping, unlike powder pigments that require pre-dispersion. The small bottle size is convenient for shade testing before scaling up a batch and for home-based small production runs of personal care items.

The primary application of this brown pearl pigment spans decorative and skincare products: shower gels, shampoos, body lotions, shimmering creams, and toning masks for hair and body. The warm chocolate tone with a metallic sheen is frequently used in bronzing products, self-tanners, contouring formulas for face and body, and in gift or seasonal cosmetic sets where visual appeal drives sales. Another notable use is candle making, where a few drops mixed into melted wax before it sets give decorative candles a refined chocolate-brown glow.
The pigment should be added at the final formulation stage, at a temperature no higher than 40-45 degrees Celsius, to preserve the shimmer effect from breaking down under heat. Recommended dosage typically ranges from 0.5 to 3 percent of the total product weight, with the exact amount depending on the desired intensity and the base transparency. Shake the bottle gently before use since pearl particles tend to settle over time. For richer contrast, many formulators pair it with Gold Liquid mica pigment 10 ml, while a cooler refined accent comes from adding Bordeaux Liquid mica pigment 10 ml or a softer Pearl Liquid mica pigment, 10 ml to tone down intensity.
Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to keep the shimmer effect stable throughout its shelf life. Once opened, use the contents within the manufacturer's recommended timeframe and avoid letting water or debris enter the bottle.
