Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Blue Grape
Engineering a High-Coverage Matte Effect
Majestic Blue Grape achieves its intense, opaque color by bonding a high concentration of Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090) onto the surface of natural mica platelets. This technique leverages mica as a functional filler and carrier, ensuring an even and vibrant color distribution. Unlike pearl or shimmer pigments, the focus is on maximizing color load and light absorption to create a true, non-reflective matte finish with superior hiding power.
Technical Advantages in Formulation
The controlled particle size of 10–60 µm provides a perfect balance between color intensity and a smooth, non-gritty texture. This makes it highly versatile for a range of applications, from pressed powders where it aids in binding, to liquid systems like lipsticks and eyeliners where it disperses evenly without settling. As a TiO2-free alternative, it allows formulators to achieve a bold, opaque blue while adhering to strict clean beauty guidelines.
