Metallescent pigments are advanced colorants that appear as ultrafine powders. Their key benefits include exceptional brilliance, strong adhesion, and excellent dispersion in various formulations. This makes them ideal for lipsticks, highlighters, and nail polishes.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Synthetic Fluorphlogopite and Aluminum Powder. These pigments are increasingly used in innovative hybrid formulations that combine long wear with skincare benefits. Regulatory standards ensure compliance with heavy metal content limits and cosmetic-grade particle size requirements.
