Uses in Cosmetics

Furthermore, pearl white pigment finds its way into the packaging design sector, where its reflective qualities make products more eye-catching on store shelves. Whether used in luxury goods or everyday items, packaging that incorporates pearl white pigment can convey a sense of sophistication and quality.

Take pearlescent pigments as an example, pearlescent pigments are a class of pigments with pearl luster, which are deposited on the substrate (generally natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheet and other sheet-like materials) above a layer or alternately deposited multiple layers of metal oxides or non-metallic oxides and formed a flat sandwich body with a structure similar to sandwich. Due to the difference in refractive index between the substrate and the oxide deposited on its surface and each oxide, when the light shines on the surface of the pearlescent pigment, the incident light will be refracted and reflected at the interface of each layer of the pearlescent pigment, and the color of the pearlescent pigment that people see is the result of the superposition of light after multiple refractions and reflections of the light, that is, the interference phenomenon of light.

Understanding Mica-Based Pigments

China, as a leading global supplier and processor of mica, maintains an impressive reputation thanks to its abundant deposits and advanced processing facilities. The Chinese mica industry has capitalized on both its natural resources and cutting-edge technology, thereby setting high standards in the production of various mica-based products. These include everything from the electronics industry's essential components to the cosmetics sector's shimmering pigments.
