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
Frequently asked questions
How to add cherry pigment to foundations?
Cherry pigment is dispersed gradually into the base while stirring until color is even. Pigments do not dissolve but color the mixture. The 10 g pack fits trial batches.
Where to store cherry pigment 10 g?
Store cherry pigment in a dry dark place in a tightly closed container. This maintains powder stability. COA is provided on request.
Is cherry pigment suitable for lip products?
Cherry pigment is alkali-resistant and does not migrate, suiting lip products and powders. Adjust dosage on a test batch after starting low.
Can I request COA for cherry pigment?
COA for cherry pigment is available on request. It ensures even distribution in decorative cosmetics without migration.
