Performance & Formulation Insights for Mystic Deep Indigo
Mystic Deep Indigo is a natural-mica pearl pigment with iron oxide and Ferric Ferrocyanide that delivers a smooth, deep blue-violet pearl over a soft satin finish. The 10-60 micron particle range gives it strong tinting strength with low gloss, making it well-suited to cosmetic formulations that need pigment payoff without glitter shine.
Key Technical Advantages in Formulation
Built on a natural mica substrate, Mystic Deep Indigo disperses cleanly in oil and wax phases and tolerates standard pressing pressures without color loss. The ferric ferrocyanide colorant delivers a true cool indigo without the visual flatness of dyed micas.
