Technical Profile: Formulating with Marvel Aquamarine
Achieving Vivid Aqua Blue Shimmer
Marvel Aquamarine utilizes a natural mica substrate (10–60 μm) coated with titanium dioxide and ferric ferrocyanide to produce a vivid aqua blue shimmer. The combination of these colorants creates a jewel-toned effect with cool-toned depth, making it an eye-catching choice for decorative cosmetics that demand bold, dimensional color.
Formulation Considerations
When incorporating Marvel Aquamarine into formulations, its medium particle size range provides a balanced shimmer that disperses well in both pressed and loose powder systems. The pigment works effectively in nail lacquers and gel polishes where its blue depth and light-reflective properties can be fully showcased. Note that this pigment is not recommended for lip applications.
