Performance & Formulation Insights for Fantasy Brilliant Blue
Intense Blue Through Ferro Cyanide Colorant Technology
Fantasy Brilliant Blue achieves its vivid, saturated blue through Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510) layered on a synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate. Unlike interference-based blues that shift with viewing angle, this pigment delivers a true, stable blue coloration that maintains its intensity from every direction. The TiO2 and Tin Oxide layers add bright reflectivity and shimmer depth to the underlying blue.
The 10–165 μm particle range spans from fine shimmer particles to large, eye-catching flakes. This broad distribution creates a multi-dimensional shimmer effect with both smooth base coverage and visible sparkle accents. The Acrylates Copolymer coating provides encapsulation that protects the colorant system and improves dispersibility in cosmetic formulations.
Formulation Considerations for Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Systems
Synthetic fluorphlogopite offers advantages over natural mica including higher purity, more uniform platelet structure, and superior optical clarity. These properties allow the Ferric Ferrocyanide colorant to appear more vivid and saturated compared to natural mica substrates.
The Acrylates Copolymer encapsulation improves compatibility with both aqueous and anhydrous systems. In pressed powder applications, the broad particle range provides good compressibility while maintaining shimmer visibility. In liquid and cream formulations, the encapsulated particles resist color bleeding and maintain their brilliant blue character.
