The invention relates to a security feature having a luminescent component and a component camouflaging the luminescent component. The invention is based on a security feature having a luminescent component that has at least one luminophore, consisting of a doped host lattice, and a component camouflaging the luminescence component, wherein the camouflaging component has at least two substances, wherein the first substance of the camouflaging component has an X-ray diffractogram that conceals the X-ray diffractogram of the luminescent component and the second substance of the camouflaging component has at least one cationic element of the luminescent component and at least one cationic element of the first substance of the camouflaging component, wherein the luminescent component and the first substance of the camouflaging component are formed from different cationic elements.
