Performance & Formulation Insights for Majestic Velvet Merlot
Engineering a True Velvet Matte Finish
Majestic Velvet Merlot achieves its signature rich, matte appearance through a high concentration of iron oxide fused to a finely milled mica platelet. The 1–10 µm particle size is critical; it minimizes light reflection that larger mica particles would create, resulting in a deep, opaque, and true matte color. This process ensures intense color payoff without sacrificing a smooth, velvety texture.
Technical Advantages in Formulation
The fine particle size distribution of Majestic Velvet Merlot ensures it disperses effortlessly and uniformly in various cosmetic systems, from anhydrous formulas to powders and emulsions. Its mica base enhances slip and skin adhesion, improving wear time and application feel. The high pigment load allows formulators to achieve full coverage at lower usage levels compared to standard synthetic colorants.
