PRESTIGE® - pearlescent effects for an endless variety of colours in cosmetic recipes

The pearlescent pigments in the PRESTIGE® product line represent a new generation of high-quality pearlescent effect pigments for use in decorative cosmetic and personal-care products. Based on natural mica, these pearlescent pigments open up an endless variety of visual effects that catch the eye and lend an attractive and uniquely elegant appearance to any cosmetic product. The fascinating effects and colours created by PRESTIGE® pearlescent pigments open up a whole new perspective for modern cosmetic products. From silver-white to interference colours and all the way to gold and earth colours, PRESTIGE® pigments offer top quality in terms of colour purity, brilliance and interplay of colours.

The three-dimensional brilliance created by PRESTIGE® pearlescent pigments is the result of a carefully controlled structure of successive, semitransparent layers of metal oxide and mica. An extremely wide variety of colour and gloss effects can be produced, depending on the composition and type of metal oxides used.

The new PRESTIGE® product range encompasses the entire rainbow spectrum of interference colours as well as silver, gold and earth tones. Reflection effects ranging from silky soft to brilliant glitter can also be achieved, depending on the size of the particles. Other interesting colour effects can be created by combining PRESTIGE® pearlescent pigments with other colour pigments.

Application possibilities for PRESTIGE® pearlescent pigments:

• Decorative cosmetics (lipsticks, eye shadow, powder, rouge, eyeliner, mascara, nail polish)
• Personal-care products (creams and lotions, personal-hygiene items, oral and dental-care products, Shampoos, hair gel and mousse)
