Mica-based pigments

Cellini®, Cloisonné®, Duocrome®, Flamenco®,Gemtone®, MultiRefl ections™, and Timica®

The substrate mica is coated with metal oxides – titanium dioxide (TiO2) and/or iron oxide (Fe2O3) to create white, interference, and metallic effects. The refl ection color depends on the thickness of the metal oxide coating. To create absorption and complex color travel effects, additional pigments are also used. These inorganic and organic pigments are chrome oxide, iron oxides, ferric ferrocyanide (iron blue), carmine, and D&C/FD&C colors.

Synthetic mica-based pigments

Chione™Metal oxides are coated onto synthetic mica substrates. Due to the clean bulk color of the substrate, the resulting appearance is characterized by very bright colors with enhanced chroma. BASF’s synthetic mica-based pigments are ideal for use in products where bold pearlescent and iridescent effects are desired.

Bismuth oxychloride-based pigments

Biju® Ultra UFC, Chroma-Lite®, and Pearl-Glo®

Platelets of bismuth oxychloride crystal are precipitated from a solution. Each grade has its own size, shape, thickness, and luster. Additionally, BASF offers the Chroma-Lite® pigment range, which combines bismuth oxychloride with mica and additional colorants.

Specialty performance minerals

Bi-Lite®, Chione™ M-SVA, and Mearlmica® Specialty performance minerals are a family of mineral products that lend balance and consistency to certain types of cosmetic formulations while remaining optically neutral. They also provide enhanced texture, especially in powder applications.

Calcium sodium borosilicate-based pigments

Refl ecks™, Refl ecks™ Dimensions, and Refl ecks™ MultiDimensionsCalcium sodium borosilicate platelets are coated with metal oxides and/or other colorants to create effect pigments with enhanced color purity, brightness, transparency, and refl ectivity.

Refl ecks™ MultiDimensions make distinctive color travel effects possible.
