Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Blue Raspberry
Engineering a True Matte Effect
Majestic Blue Raspberry is created by depositing a dense layer of Ultramarine Blue (CI 77007) onto a natural mica substrate. This process ensures a uniform coating that completely covers the mica’s natural pearlescence, resulting in a true, non-reflective matte finish. The underlying mica platelet provides a smooth, desirable texture that improves blendability and skin feel compared to pure ultramarine powder alone.
Superior Opacity for High-Impact Color
The fine particle size (10–60 μm) and concentrated pigment load give Majestic Blue Raspberry its superior hiding power. This allows formulators to achieve full opacity and intense color saturation with a lower usage rate, making it highly efficient for products like graphic eyeliners and full-coverage eyeshadows. Its formulation is free of titanium dioxide, offering a clean alternative for achieving bright, opaque color.
