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. "

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.
