Pearlescent bismuth oxychloride

The use of bismuth as a beauty care product dates back to antiquity and is still used in common cosmetic products. Bismuth oxychloride is used to impart a pearlescent effect to lipstick, nail varnish, eye shadow, and makeup powder. The resulting brilliance and luster surpasses that of a natural product, guanine, which is extracted from fish scales and is more costly. [Pg.17]

Although pearlescent pigments encompass the natural pearl essence derived from the fish and also the various crystal forms of bismuth oxychloride, it is the coatings of titanium dioxide and iron oxide on mica that have gained the most acceptance and are the most commercially successful. It is the coatings of titanium dioxide on mica and their derivatives that are the subjects of this study. [Pg.22]

The oxychloride BiOCl is utilized in an odd application of bismuth. The compound can be crystallized as small plates with a diameter of less than 10 pm. The small crystals have a very high refractive index and, dispersed in nail varnish or ointment, a pearlescent effect. For that reason, bismuth oxychloride has been an important pigment for cosmetics. Annually more than 500 tonnes of bismuth is used for this purpose. [Pg.1025]

Various types of pearlescent materials are used in decorative cosmetic products, such as bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), which is a synthetic pearlescent in the form of octagonal platelets giving a very shiny metallic pearlescent effect. It offers strong covering effects and good adhesion to skin surface. It is soft and silky to the touch. However, due to its poor stability to light, it has a tendency to darken after prolonged exposure. [Pg.145]
