About

On an ingredient list it is written as Bismuth Oxychloride. Its colour index number is CI 77163. It is synthetic (inorganic bismuth oxychloride).

In the Formula

It is an effect material. It does not add pigment so much as bend light, which is what reads on skin as pearl, glow or a soft-focus sheen.

The Evidence

Its use in cosmetics is governed by 21 CFR 73.2162. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163) does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
