Merck, a leading science and technology company, is presenting Ronastar® Frozen Jewel: This new, silvery premium pearl luster pigment complements the Ronastar® range with an intense frosty-brilliant shine and outstanding hiding power. The new pigment imparts a unique, intense silver sparkle to premium cosmetics and high-quality body care products.
State-of-the-art multilayer technology
Smooth glass platelets (inorganic calcium-aluminum borosilicate) coated with multiple layers of metal oxides are the secret behind Ronastar® Frozen Jewel: The particles with a size ranging from 20 to 200 μm provide a very high reflection of incoming light – and measurably stronger than other effect pigments with similar product properties. “Thanks to its state-of-the-art multilayer technology, even smallest concentrations of Ronastar® Frozen Jewel develop a maximum frost effect and exceptional hiding power,” explains Alexander Peters, Head of Global Marketing Decorative Materials at Merck.
Cosmetics and care products with cool charm
The pigment shows up as a white powder with a silvery sparkle. If used on its own, Ronastar® Frozen Jewel appears like a pure, sparkling silver – when combined with other cosmetic colorants it imparts a frosty-silvery shimmer to strong colors.
This allows a broad range of applications for cosmetics and care products, providing a distinct cool, brilliant charm: The pigment innovation imparts a certain “wow” effect to loose or compact powders and eye shadows as well as lip makeup and nail polish. Thanks to its innovative frosty appearance Ronastar® Frozen Jewel perfectly supports cool product concepts of refreshing or cooling body and shower gels.
