Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Cranberry

Achieving Intense, True-to-Color Matte Payoff

Majestic Cranberry leverages the high chromaticity of Carmine, a vivid natural colorant, fixed onto a natural mica substrate. This combination allows for an exceptionally saturated and stable red pigment.

The controlled particle size of 10–60 µm ensures a smooth, uniform laydown of color, providing a true matte finish without the chalkiness sometimes associated with other matte pigments. The result is a vibrant, deep cranberry shade that remains consistent from package to application.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The mica base provides a smooth, lubricious feel and enhances skin adhesion, improving wear time in face and eye makeup. As a free-flowing powder, it is easily incorporated into various cosmetic systems, including anhydrous powders, emulsions, and solvent-based formulas, without significant clumping.

Its TiO2-free composition also allows for cleaner, more straightforward formulations that meet the demands of the modern clean beauty market.
