Macarons Product Range (Colored Mica) The Role of Macarons Product Range (Colored Mica) in Color Cosmetic Applications

Definition of Mica

Mica can be defined in various forms, shapes and particle sizes. Coloring mica is not straightforward. The Macarons series is a technology based on inorganic and organic pigments reacting to create different color tones with perfect intense shine and matte effects.

Innovation and Novelty

The innovative colored Mica-Macarons series, Koel Colours' latest product, is not a physical mixture. It is a composite structure composed of colorants and mica. With this unique technology, the composite product has a velvety texture and fine particle size, making it very easy to blend. Macarons technology differs from standard pearlescent pigments readily available on the market. This is an innovative technology based on the 'Zeta Potential' principle due to the strong binding of particles. Thanks to Zeta Potential technology and Koel's proprietary colorants, the Macarons series has a uniquely smooth structure and delivers bright, vivid color tones.

Why Is It Unique?

The most distinctive advantage of the Macarons series is its small particle size. This makes it easy to incorporate into formulations. Thanks to different color combinations and mixtures, the Macarons Mica series provides convenience for specialists preparing recipe contents. They can easily achieve a dynamic color range.

What Makes This Series Innovative?

The Macarons series was created to offer color options to specialists developing color cosmetic products. By combining organic and inorganic pigments with pearlescent materials, perfect transitional color tones are provided in a single product.

Innovation Concept

Mica-based pearlescent pigments have dispersibility properties due to variable particle size. The Macaron product range, developed based on 'Zeta Potential' theory, has particle sizes and shapes designed to provide excellent dispersibility, opacity and good smoothness.

Price Advantage

The Macarons series is at least 10% cheaper compared to pearlescent pigment products, thereby reducing demand for expensive raw materials (micas and colorants).

Inventory Optimization

To obtain the correct shade, users previously needed to use mica-based pearlescent pigments and colorants separately. At Koel Colours, since mica and colorants are in composite form, they work to reduce stock costs and provide a single color tone in Macarons.

The Macarons Series Can Be Examined in 4 Types

1. Macarons – Mica • Available in 35 color tones. • Used in all color cosmetics. 2.

How Is the Technology Different?

It is easy to claim that mixing pigment and pearlescent material is straightforward and that anyone can do it in their own laboratory. However, the process used in designing Macarons is very special and unique. Koel Colours precipitates the pigment on a mica base in a very different way, which results in strong chemical binding of the color. Due to its different design, it provides a velvety texture. Applications of Macarons: •Lipstick, •Lip gloss, •Nail polish, •Face makeup, •Eyeshadow, •Eyeliner, •Foundation, •Bronzers, •Food, •Natural Products, •Pharmaceuticals.

Details Regarding the Use of Macarons Series in Formulations

The normally recommended ratio is in the range of 5–12% depending on the formulation of the color cosmetic. The Macarons series is particularly easy to incorporate into nail polish formulations. Due to the drying process that ensures suitable surface tension, they remain suspended homogeneously.
