Ultramarine Blue Pigment
Ultramarine Blue Pigment
A bold, brilliant ultramarine blue pigment! Ultramarines are graded safe for cosmetic use and are produced synthetically in order to avoid the inclusion of impurities normally found in naturally occurring iron oxides including ferrous or ferric oxides, arsenic, lead and other poisonous substances.
"Amazing!! This blue is absolutely amazing. It is the perfect deep blue. It is definitely a must have for your collection!!! A little bit goes a long way!!"
—Cassidy Z. (verified)
A little goes a long way. Please start with small amounts and slowly increase to avoid over pigmentation.

Additional Notes
Additional Notes
- Sample bags contain approximately one teaspoon.
- Ultramarines and oxides are recommended for use in oil-based applications.
- Notes for soap use: when mixing with MP soap, blend in a few drops of glycerin or oil to make a smooth paste to avoid clumps in your soap. White MP base will always create a pastel form of the color due to titanium dioxide in base.

"OK FOR" Usage Key Explanation
Overview: Our "OK FOR" key is a quick and easy reference point for customers to learn about the color additives used to manufacture each colorant we sell, in the context of which are FDA-permitted for use in cosmetics, and for what uses. It also provides guidance for usage in media that the FDA do not regulate, like soap, crafts, and epoxy resin.
Cosmetic Use: In the case of cosmetic use, we list products in the "OK FOR" key according to the FDA-permitted usage status of each product's individual ingredient. We get this information directly from the FDA website by referring to their "Color Additives Permitted for Use in Cosmetics" table. Ingredients that are in a product that are not listed in that table have no bearing on the information in the key.
If a particular usage is FDA-permitted for ALL color additives in a product, we indicate so with a graphic representing that usage (lips, eyes, etc).
If any individual ingredient in a product is listed as not FDA-permitted for a particular use, we indicate so by having an "X" appear over the graphic representing that usage. Rolling over the graphic will provide some additional detail.
Other Uses: For uses that are not regulated by the FDA we indicate what we, in our internal testing, have had success with. We also continually review feedback from customers to make these suggestions.
Important Note: We are only providing information about FDA-regulated color additives according to the table on the FDA website. We are not making any representations whatsoever regarding actual usage, local or federal laws and/or regulations beyond providing the most current FDA-posted information we have seen. It is up to the end user to review rules and documentation for each product in order to make their own decisions as to best practices.
Customer Reviews
I love it but it does not mix well and gave my soap speckles on the bottom. I tried different ways to mix it but it didn’t work. Maybe it’s a bad batch
We have not had any issues or reports of ultramarine blue not working properly. With pigments, oxides and ultramarines, we recommend incorporating the color with glycerin before adding to the melted soap base. It appears as if the color was not mixed properly before being added to your base.
It’s so vivid and bright it almost hurts your eyes to look at the powder in the jar. I did not know it was possible to gaze upon such a pure perfect brilliant color as this. Comparing it to other ultramarine blue pigments available will show you how superior mad micas is.
Loving this company so far, can't wait to work with them in the future
This color is perfect for masculine fragrance. I use fierce by Abercrombie. Is beautiful.
Excellent bright and true color for cold process soap making. It also helps to brighten my greens and other blues that have trouble staying bright. 5 stars!!!!
