Pearlescent

Description

A lustrous, thick paste/liquid that imparts a soft, shimmering glow to personal care formulations. Unlike mica powders, this SLS-based pearlescent offers smooth, uniform dispersion without the gritty texture, making it ideal for soap-based products like shower gels, hand washes, and shampoos. It delivers a luxurious, glossy finish to your creations.
Note: Not suitable for creams, lotions, or oil-based emulsions.
