Eckart unveils gemstone-inspired red effect pigment

Eckart has taken the wraps off Syncrystal Garnet, a carmine-free, high-chroma red effect pigment for cosmetics.

The German maker says the red pigment with bluish undertone is perfect for intense red shades and for creating violet shades when combined with other effect pigments.

“Inspired by the colour of a garnet gemstone, Syncrystal Garnet stands out in the market with its brilliant, red colour and bluish undertone, making it the ideal choice for a wide array of cosmetic formulations,” said an Eckart spokeswoman.

“This versatile pigment boasts exceptional brilliance and hiding power, along with an attractive price-performance ratio,” she added.

“Thanks to Eckart’s cutting-edge production technologies, Syncrystal Garnet delivers impressive chroma and a pronounced pearlescent effect that sets it apart from other red effect pigments.”

Syncrystal Garnet is based on synthetic fluorphlogopite flakes that offer an excellent skin feel and high colour purity, superior to natural mica-based pigments.
