Eckart launch new colour pigments at in-cosmetics

The Germany-headquartered business is expanding its Prestige and Mirage ranges including what it claims to be a first – the ‘real gold’ effect.

Mirage Sparkling Luxury Gold is based on calcium sodium borosilicate coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxides.

Luxurious gold​

The pigment’s extremely smooth surface is what leads to the ‘most luxurious gold shade ever seen’, according to the company.

Three more pigments will be added to the Mirage range: Bright Silver, Glamour Green and Glamour Blue.

Mirage Bright Silver is a fine grade version of the coarser Sparkling and Twinkling Silver pigments. The smaller particle size gives it a more delicate appearance and means it can be used to enhance colours without making a formulation more opaque, claims the company.

The Glamour Green and Glamour Blue, which are based on calcium sodium borosilicate platelets coated in titanium dioxide, are designed to give an eye-catching luxurious look for colour cosmetics.

Pigments for oil based formulations​

Furthermore, six additional pigments will swell the ranks of Eckart’s Prestige hydrophobic range.

All pigments in the Prestige ST range have been surface treated in order make them compatible with oil based formulations such as silicone based lotions or mineral oils.

The additional pigments to have been surface treated mean that the full range of earth tone pigments are now available in ST form (bronze, copper, fire red, and soft beige). In addition, soft silver, soft gold, soft orange and soft red are also available in treated form.
