Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for DP Sparkle Blue

The Science of High-Impact Sparkle

DP Sparkle Blue achieves its intense glitter effect through a combination of a large natural mica substrate (10–125 μm) and a precise coating of Titanium Dioxide. This structure allows for maximum light reflection, creating a bright, white powder that flashes a vivid blue when viewed at an angle. The larger particle size is key to producing a distinct sparkling effect rather than a subtle shimmer or pearl.

Formulation Strategies for Large Particles

Due to its larger particle size, DP Sparkle Blue is ideal for applications where texture and a visible glitter effect are desired. In pressed powders, ensure adequate binder levels to secure the particles and minimize fallout. In liquid or gel systems, its larger size may require a robust suspension base with suitable rheology modifiers to prevent settling over time and ensure even distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions About DP Sparkle Blue

The primary difference is particle size. DP Sparkle Blue’s large range (10–125 μm) creates a distinct, high-impact glitter and sparkle effect, whereas finer pearls produce a smoother, more subtle shimmer or satin finish.
Yes, this pigment is approved for use in eye, face, lip, and nail applications, making it highly versatile for a full range of color cosmetics.
Due to its large particle size, we recommend using a gelling agent or rheology modifier (like a hectorite gel or synthetic polymer) in your liquid base to create a suspension network that holds the particles in place.
DP Sparkle Blue is a free-flowing white powder. The blue color is an interference effect, meaning it only appears when light reflects off the pigment at an angle.
While it has good compressibility, it’s designed to be used as an effect pigment within a larger formula. It should be combined with a base powder and appropriate binders for optimal performance in a pressed powder application.
