Technical Profile: Formulating with Majestic Rhubarb

Achieving Maximum Color Purity & Opacity

Majestic Rhubarb is engineered by treating a natural mica substrate with a dense, highly controlled coating of Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491). This results in a pigment with exceptional opacity and saturation, far exceeding standard mica-based pearls. The fine particle range (10–60 μm) supports a smooth, uniform laydown with a true matte finish—without the chalkiness sometimes associated with pure oxides.

Advantages in Formulation & Performance

The mica substrate enhances the dispersibility of iron oxide, reducing clumping and ensuring homogenous color distribution in both liquid and powder systems. This versatility makes it ideal for applications ranging from liquid lipsticks to pressed powders. Its composition also offers strong light and heat stability, supporting color integrity throughout the product lifecycle.
