Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Carrot
Achieving High-Saturation Matte Color
Majestic Carrot is engineered by precipitating FD&C Yellow 6 dye onto a natural mica substrate. This process creates a stable, insoluble pigment with significantly higher chromaticity and color purity than standard iron oxides. The mica base acts as a functional filler, enhancing the texture and application feel, while the lake pigment provides the intense, true orange color. The result is a vibrant matte finish without the chalkiness sometimes associated with other opacifiers.
Formulation Advantages of a Lake-on-Mica Pigment
The 10–60 µm particle size of Majestic Carrot offers a unique balance of color, coverage, and blendability. It’s small enough to feel silky and smooth in application but large enough to provide excellent light scattering for a soft-focus matte effect.
This makes it a highly versatile pigment for a wide range of color cosmetic systems, from pressed powders where it aids in binding to liquid formulas where it disperses evenly.
