Pearlescent Pigments

Aromantic's Pearlescent Pigments are natural and inorganic. Inorganic, or “non-living”, Colours are composed of insoluble metallic compounds, which are derived from natural sources such as the earth (e.g. China Clay; Carbon Deposits; Iron Oxides e.g. Browns, Blacks, Reds, etc; Ultramarines; Chromium Oxide Green; Mica; Titanium Dioxide; Zinc Oxide; Kaolin Clay; and so forth). Some are then subjected to high temperatures and sometimes bonded chemically with another element, such as Titanium Dioxide.


"Thank you very much for being so helpful and efficient. The goods arrived the very next morning, and it made my day. Life is so sweet when things go exactly as you want them to. "
Max Drake

 

Although they are ‘pearlescent’ in effect, Aromantic’s Pearlescent Pigments are not derived from mussels or pearls and are totally suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This is why we changed the name from ‘Mother of Pearl’ Pigments to ‘Pearlescent Pigments’.

Our suppliers classify some of them as synthetic because, even though they are derived from natural sources, they undergo chemical bonding at high temperatures and so no longer consider them natural. To further complicate matters, each colour may contain a totally natural, untreated pigment, such as Mica, as well as one that has been bonded with an element at high temperature, e.g. Titanium Dioxide. So, our classification system, although “technically incorrect”, will still use N for natural and the relevant letter following that to show how, and if, it has been extracted or treated.

Pearlescent Pigments are ideal for use in Make-up, Lipsticks and Creams. They also work well for Solid Soap and Fizzy Bath Bombs. You can use them for Liquid Soap, but as with all powdered Pigments, they will sink to the bottom if the consistency is not thick enough. When used in Solid Soaps, they produce a lovely, semi-transparent effect.
