Cherry Pigment 10 g

Cherry Pigment dispersible colorant for controlled shade development in cosmetic systems

Cherry Pigment is a finely milled colorant used to generate red to deep burgundy tones in cosmetic and related formulations. The composition may be based on mineral pigments or approved organic colorants depending on the grade. INCI depends on the specific type and may include Iron Oxides CI 77491 CI 77499 or other compliant pigments. The material is applied where stable color output repeatable shade and uniform dispersion are required. Check other shades in the Cosmetic Pigment Powders section.

What it is and where it is used

Cherry Pigment is incorporated into decorative cosmetics such as lip products blushes pressed powders loose powders and foundation bases.

In formulation work it is used to build оттенки and fine tune color intensity. It is suitable for systems where migration bleeding or instability of color must be minimized.

How it works

The pigment functions as an insoluble particulate that disperses within the base. Color is generated through interaction of light with the particle surface and internal structure.

Uniform visual output depends on dispersion quality particle size distribution and compatibility with the base medium.

Properties

Controlled red to burgundy shade range
High tinting strength at low addition levels
Good stability under standard storage conditions
Insoluble particulate behavior
Compatible with oil wax and powder systems
Adaptable to both pressed and liquid formulations

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in color cosmetics and tinted bases
In wax products it is used for color adjustment
In formulation development it is used for shade design and correction

Behavior in formulation

Cherry Pigment requires proper dispersion to achieve uniform color. It can be introduced as a dry powder or pre dispersed in a suitable medium such as oil glycerin or propanediol. Compare the shade with Red Cosmetic Pigment 10 g or view bulk packs in Cosmetic Pigments Wholesale.

Agglomeration may occur without adequate mixing therefore mechanical dispersion or milling improves consistency. In emulsions phase selection depends on the carrier medium.

How to use

Pre disperse for optimal uniformity
Add into oil phase for oil compatible systems
Add into base with continuous mixing
Adjust shear level depending on particle size

Recommended usage level

0.05 to 3 percent for tinting
Up to 5 percent for насыщенные оттенки
Final level adjusted based on target shade and base type

Formulation example

Colored lip balm base

Beeswax — 150 g
Shea Butter — 200 g
Castor Oil — 600 ml
Cherry Pigment — 10 g
Tocopherol — 5 ml
Flavor Fragrance Oil — 3 ml

Processing

Waxes and oils are heated until fully melted. Cherry Pigment is pre dispersed in a portion of the oil phase to break agglomerates.

The dispersion is added to the main phase under mixing. Tocopherol and fragrance are introduced at lower temperature.

The mass is poured into containers and allowed to solidify.

Important considerations

Uniform dispersion is critical for consistent color
Shade varies depending on base polarity and concentration
Overloading may affect texture and application
Final performance depends on formulation design and processing method
