Ultramarine Blue

Ultramarine blue is a cosmetic-grade, nature identical pigment that produces a vivid, striking blue with excellent stability. It is one of the most popular blue pigments in colour cosmetics and is widely used in eyeshadows, liners, and artistic makeup. With strong tinting power, only a small amount is required to achieve bold results.

This pigment disperses easily in formulations and creates colours that remain bright and true without bleeding or fading. In soapmaking, ultramarine blue produces brilliant to pastel blue tones depending on usage rate and blends beautifully with other pigments to achieve custom shades.

Because it is synthetically produced rather than mined, ultramarine blue avoids concerns about natural impurities while still delivering the same composition as its naturally occurring counterpart.
