Product Description and Key Coloring Properties

The Pearlescent Copper Pigment is presented as a fine, soft powder known for its excellent coverage and superior light reflection. It delivers a beautiful, deep copper shade that shifts and sparkles when viewed from different angles, providing a true multi-dimensional effect. It is non-toxic, non-bleeding, and stable in most cosmetic bases, including high-pH environments.

Key characteristics and advantages:

Vibrant Copper Luster: Provides an intense, true copper metallic sheen that is both warm and luxurious.

Pearlescent Effect: Offers a unique shimmer and reflective quality due to the layered mica substrate.

Color Stability: Highly stable against UV light, heat, and high pH, making it ideal for cosmetics and hot-pour products.

Easy Dispersion: As a fine powder, it disperses easily in oil, silicone, and various aqueous bases, although it is typically mixed with a carrier (like glycerin or oil) before adding to a batch.

Cosmetic Grade: Safe for use in products intended for skin, lips, and eye areas, adhering to global cosmetic standards.

Versatility: Can be used alone for an opaque metallic finish or mixed with other pigments for custom shades.

Recipe: Shimmering Copper Body Oil

Create a lightweight, fast-absorbing body oil that leaves a beautiful, sun-kissed copper shimmer on the skin, perfect for summer.

Ingredients:

Ninety-eight milliliters Fractionated Coconut Oil or Jojoba Oil (Carrier Base); One gram Pearlescent Copper Pigment (Shimmer effect); One milliliter Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant); Five to ten drops Fragrance Oil (e.g., Sandalwood or Vanilla).

Instructions for Preparation:

First Step: In a small, clean beaker, add the Pearlescent Copper Pigment. Second Step: Add approximately ten milliliters of the Fractionated Coconut Oil to the pigment. Use a glass rod or small whisk to thoroughly mix the pigment until a smooth, clump-free copper slurry is achieved. This step is crucial for even color distribution. Third Step: Add the remaining eighty-eight milliliters of the carrier oil, the Vitamin E Oil, and the chosen Fragrance Oil to the beaker. Fourth Step: Stir the entire mixture gently but thoroughly until the shimmer is evenly suspended throughout the oil base. Fifth Step: Transfer the finished Shimmering Body Oil to a clear bottle with a pump or dropper.

Recommendations for Application and Storage:

Dosage: The dosage of Pearlescent Copper Pigment can range from 0.1% for a subtle shimmer to 2% for an intense metallic look. This recipe uses 1% for a noticeable, beautiful glow.

Shake Before Use: Since pigments are minerals and do not fully dissolve, the Copper Pigment will settle to the bottom over time. Instruct users to shake the bottle well before every application to redistribute the shimmer evenly.

Usage: Apply a small amount to the arms, legs, and décolletage for a luxurious glow.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. The oil base and pigment are highly stable, but consistent temperature helps maintain the product integrity.
