Escentia Colloidal Gold is a water-based cosmetic ingredient made with a fine suspension of gold particles in purified water, designed to add a more refined, luminous finish to skincare formulations. It is commonly used in serums, creams, masks, eye gels, toners, and moisturisers where a lightweight, elegant feel is wanted without added heaviness.
This is a cosmetic formulation ingredient, not a finished ready-to-use treatment product. Its fluid texture makes it especially easy to incorporate during the cool-down phase of suitable formulations. Why we love it: This is one of those speciality ingredients that instantly makes a formulation feel more polished and elevated.
It blends in beautifully, keeps the texture light, and adds a subtle luxe touch to glow-focused skincare without making a formula feel rich or greasy. Key Properties Ingredients: Purified water (Aqua), colloidal gold (25-30 ppm) Form: Water-based specialty ingredient Suitable For: Cosmetic Use Appearance: Lightweight fluid Typical Usage Rate: 0.1-1% Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
