Synthetic Mica
Cosmetica®
Cosmetica® is a pearlescent pigment coated with a metal oxide on a synthetic fluorphlogopite (Synthetic mica) substrate. It features pure color expression, high sparkling and whiteness caused by the substrate used in Cosmetica® and offers products with various colors and particle sizes within the brand to show a wide range of applicability to mix with various formulations such as basic cosmetics, color cosmetics, and point make-up.
Cosmetica® varies in color depending on the coated metal oxide and can be divided into white-colored Cosmetica series, interference-colored Sharon series, metallic-colored and glossy Blondiee series.
Econa®
Econa® is a new eco-friendly effect material featuring a surface treatment of natural plant extracts precipitated over a synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) based iridescent pigment.
Natural plant extracts used in Econa® deliver antioxidant properties to the functional pearlescent pigment.
Econa® offers a variety of colors depending on the natural plant extract used and shows relatively better formulation stability than other colored pearlescent pigments.
Esorora®
Esorora® is a highly functional optically variable pigment based on a synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) substrate. It features a multi-color effect in which different colors appear depending on the viewing angle. This optical phenomena is the aggregate result of reflected light as it passes through metal oxide coating layers of different refractive indices.
Esorora® can achieve unique effects which are not found in general pearl gloss pigments when applied to color cosmetics.
Esochroma®
Esochroma® is a product manufactured by coating absorption colors onto highly functional optically variable pigments. By simultaneously implementing absorption colors onto highly functional photochromic effect materials, various color combinations are possible without going through a special dispersion process.
Magchrom®
Magchrom® is a pearlescent pigment that maximizes chroma based on a synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) substrate. Magchrom® was developed with CQV’s high-density TiO2 coating technology to create an effect pigment bearing unparalleled color intensity and iridescence.
Soliens®
Soliens® is a pearlescent pigment using synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) as a substrate. Soliens® is applied with high-density coating technology to provide high chroma, intense sparkling effects with excellent color purity. Representative colors include real gold color, and there are also various white and interference colors.
Hierro®
Hierro® line features metallic-colored pearlescent pigments using synthetic fluorphlogopite as a substrate. Previously, it was somewhat difficult to express gloss and chroma due to the properties of red iron oxide, a common coating material for producing metallic colors. To overcome this phenomenon, CQV continued to research, and as a result, developed Hierro® with CQV’s own coating technology.
This effort resulted in stronger metallic colors, cleaner gloss, and marvelous sparkling effects.
Skolor®
Skolor® is a colored pigment manufactured by coating absorption colors onto the surface of a synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) based pearlescent pigment. By combining selective pearlescent pigments with complimentary absorption colors, a myriad of color shades and effects are produced. Skolor® pigments offer dazzling color options to all cosmetic formulas.
