Product Description and Key Coloring Properties

The Pearl Pigment Blue provides more than just color; it delivers a multidimensional metallic sheen and depth that transforms opaque bases into sophisticated, iridescent finishes. Its fine particle size ensures excellent dispersion and a smooth sensory feel when applied to the skin.

Key properties and benefits:

Intense Blue Color: Provides a rich, vibrant blue hue that ranges from deep sapphire to bright azure depending on the application and base color.

Pearlescent Finish: Creates a spectacular shimmer and pearly luster due to the light-reflecting mica particles, offering a high-end visual appeal.

Cosmetic Grade Safety: Meets stringent regulatory standards for use in cosmetics and personal care, ensuring safety for skin and mucous membranes (when used as directed).

Excellent Stability: Highly heat-stable and maintains its color and shimmer integrity in various pH environments, making it suitable for both cold and hot process manufacturing.

Easy Dispersion: Disperses readily in most systems, including aqueous (water-based) and oil-based formulas, although pre-dispersion in a small amount of carrier oil or glycerin is recommended for best results.

Non-Bleeding: This pigment is non-bleeding and non-fading, ensuring consistent color throughout the product's lifespan.

Recipe: Shimmering Blue Body Oil

Create a luxurious, light-catching body oil using Pearl Pigment Blue to give the skin an alluring, iridescent shimmer.

Ingredients:

Ninety-seven milliliters Fractionated Coconut Oil or Jojoba Oil (Carrier Oil); Two milliliters Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant); One gram Pearl Pigment Blue (Colorant).

Instructions for Preparation:

First Step: In a small, clean, and dry beaker, measure out the required amount of Pearl Pigment Blue powder.

Second Step: Add a very small amount (about 5-10 ml) of the Carrier Oil to the pigment powder. Use a glass stir rod or mini-mixer to thoroughly mix the pigment into this small amount of oil, creating a slurry to ensure there are no clumps.

Third Step: Add the remaining Carrier Oil and the Vitamin E Oil to the slurry. Mix well until the blue shimmer appears evenly suspended throughout the oil base.

Fourth Step: Pour the shimmering body oil into a clean bottle with a tight cap or pump dispenser.

Recommendations for Application and Storage:

Dispersion is Key: Always pre-disperse the Pearl Pigment Blue in a small amount of oil or glycerin first. Direct addition to a large liquid base can lead to clumping and poor color distribution.

Shake Before Use: Since pigments may settle over time, advise the end-user to shake the bottle well before each use to redistribute the shimmering blue particles.

Dosage Rate: For body oils or lotions, a dosage of 0.5% to 2% of the pigment is typical, depending on the desired intensity of the color and shimmer.

Storage: Store the finished product and the pigment powder in airtight containers away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent clumping and maintain color integrity.
