Merck has introduced Ronastar® Blue Lights, a new interference pigment for blue shimmer. The new premium pigment is another addition to the company’s Lights series of the Smart Effects innovation program.
Perfect Fit for Latest Color Cosmetics Trends
The blue interference pigment creates a living sparkle effect even in low concentrations. It is ideal for modifying any shade and pastel nuances and adding a luxurious touch to all color and care cosmetics owing to its fine particle size.
“
With Blue Lights, color is not the limit. Perfectly fitting to latest color trends in decorative cosmetics, it adds gorgeous effects to temporary hair or care products,” said Beate Anniés, head of cosmetics at Merck.
Pigment Features Uniform Thickness
The engineered high-tech architecture of the Lights Series pigments is based on a combination of innovative substrate technology and precisely applied layers of metal oxides. The pigments thus feature uniform thickness and an extremely even surface.
“
This inorganic composition provides highest stability combined with a smooth skin feel,” said Dorothea Wenzel, head of surface solutions at the performance materials business sector of Merck.
“
In care products, the hovering marbles of indigo sparkle can help our customers underscore their marketing story like moisturization, marine active ingredients or clean beauty,” added Anniés.
Ronastar® Blue Lights can be used in all color cosmetic and personal care applications. They complement the Ronastar® portfolio consisting of the two mass tone pigments Ronastar® Flaming Lights and Dazzling Lights as well as the two interference pigments Ronastar® Golden Lights and Red Lights.
