Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Blackberry

Achieving True Matte Black Opacity

Majestic Blackberry is engineered by coating a fine natural mica substrate with a highly concentrated layer of Iron Oxide Black (CI 77499). This process leverages the platy structure of mica to ensure a smooth, uniform application, while the dense iron oxide coating provides exceptional opacity and a deep, true matte black color without the need for carbon black.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The 10-60 μm particle size offers a balance of intense coverage and a smooth, non-gritty texture, making it highly versatile across product formats.

It disperses easily in both anhydrous and emulsion systems, simplifying manufacturing of eyeliners, mascaras, lipsticks, face products, and nail lacquers. Its composition is globally compliant for all cosmetic applications, including lip products.
