Gelest Ultramarine Violet TC (VIB-TCA) is a surface-treated violet ultramarine pigment. This pigment is used to create clean, bright shades and soft pastels for long-wear eye makeup and powders. It is more cost-effective than other organic pigments and is used in various color cosmetic formulations. This pigment is coated with an alkyl silane, which provides a hydrophobic coating that increases the ease of particle dispersion in natural and synthetic fluids and helps stabilize particles in emulsion systems.
