Geotech Cosmetic Formulations - Geopearl Terracotta Foundation
The Geopearl C range of synthetic Micas can be used to create an inclusive range of high shimmer foundations.
Discover Geotech's latest innovation: a revolutionary formulation available in four skin tones, meticulously crafted to provide a flawless finish. Made with Geopearl® C Crystal Silk Terracotta absorption pigment. Each shade is expertly designed to blend naturally with your unique skin tone, delivering a radiant, glossy appearance while effortlessly concealing imperfections.
The pigments are based on synthetic mica flakes which are coated with iron oxides and triethoxycaprylylsilane which provides hydrophobic properties. Geopearl® C Crystal Silk Terracotta pigments disperse well in oil and wax-based formulations. They can be used without restrictions.
