Xirona Le Rouge is a red colored powder pigment with a dramatic red pearlescence. A subtle color travel effect from red to orange-red adds a touch of mystery. Xirona Le Rouge offers endless red and pink shades with maximum stability in cosmetic formulations in combination with other pearl luster pigments or pure white RonaFlair functional fillers. The truly red pigment has a particle size distribution from 5 to 50 µm and thus provides a satiny to metallic shine effect. Xirona Le Rouge is a beautiful and unique addition to our extraordinary series of inorganic color travel pigments based on silica flakes. A web coating process produces the artificial silica substrate. Silica flakes of synthetic origin feature an extremely uniform and controllable thickness as well as a smooth and regular surface.

6 Xirona Le Rouge The first aid pigment for passionate red and pink cosmetic products Stable red or pink shades in color cosmetics are difficult to achieve due to the stability issues of organic colorants and their possible allergic potential or the unpleasant skin feel of pure iron oxide powders. In addition, manufacturing-related problems may occur if organic lakes are used. In formulations with lower ph values, or especially in water-based systems like emulsions, almost all organic pigments cause incompatibilities. Forget about common difficulties when creating red and pink shades make use of the multi-talented cosmetic pigment Xirona Le Rouge. The addition of interference red, blue or violet effect pigments such as Timiron Splendid Colors results in highly stable pink shades. Depending on the ratio, even delicate pastel pinks can be developed by blending Xirona Le Rouge with white or silverwhite cosmetic pigments or fillers. New sophisticated effects can be achieved in combination with sparkling Ronastar and Ronastar Sparks pigments. Employing a small amount of Xirona Le Rouge (e.g. 0.1 %) creates delicate pink masstone colors without using any additional organic color dispersion. Pink cosmetic formulations are superior in light stability if formulated with Xirona Le Rouge. 4

We recommend using a ratio of 1:9 for organic lake and Xirona Le Rouge. The unstable part of the organic colorant is significantly reduced by using only a very small amount of it while the strong red shade is intensified in the desired direction. The incorporation of Xirona Le Rouge into cosmetic formulations such as nail polishes, lipgloss, pressed powders as well as gel products and emulsions follows the same basic rules as those of the wellknown Merck/Rona pigments. There is no limitation on the usage level of the product. Xirona Le Rouge disperses well in both oil and water systems and does not need milling and deagglomeration. 5
