Replacement for Gold Pigment N 5001S

Based on the composition provided (Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and a small amount of Tin Oxide), N 5001S is a type of Interference Gold Mica. These pigments appear as a white or off-white powder but reflect a gold sheen when they catch the light.

To replace this pigment, you can choose from the following options depending on the desired particle size and sparkle effect:

1. For a Natural, Silky Gold Reflection (Size A ~30 microns)

• Gold White Pearl Mica (Size A): This is the closest equivalent for applications requiring a smooth, natural-looking gold sheen, such as in foundations, BB creams, or face powders. It provides a soft "silk" effect similar to high-quality interference pigments.

2. For a More Visible Shimmer/Sparkle (Size B ~70 microns)

• Gold White Glitter Mica (Size B): If your application requires more "shimmer" or a more pronounced sparkle while maintaining the white-to-gold interference effect, this larger particle size is recommended.

3. For Intense Gold Color (Colored Mica)

If you prefer a pigment that is already gold-colored in the jar (rather than white-reflecting-gold), you may consider:

• Light Gold Pearl Mica (Size A): Contains Iron Oxides to provide a more direct gold color with high coverage.

Usage Recommendations:

• Mixing: These pigments can be dispersed easily in oils, silicones, or powder bases.
• Rate: Typically used at 1-5% in creams/lotions for a subtle glow, or up to 15-30% in color cosmetics like eyeshadows.
