Technical Profile & Formulation Advantages of Marvel Maroon

High-Chroma Satin Finish

Marvel Maroon’s deep, golden-red color is achieved by depositing a precise layer of iron oxides onto a natural mica substrate. This controlled coating process delivers high chroma with a sophisticated satin luster—avoiding the high sparkle of larger particle pigments. The result is intense, true-to-color payoff with a smooth, illuminating finish ideal for high-definition applications.

Formulation Benefits of Fine Particle Size

With a fine particle size of 5–25 μm, Marvel Maroon ensures a silky, non-gritty texture across formats. It promotes superior blendability on skin, excellent press performance in powders, and stable suspension in liquids and gels—making it a versatile, high-performance choice for modern color cosmetics.
