Gelest Ultramarine Violet SS (VIB-SSA) 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 imparts the excellent wetting properties of the shorter-chain silanes with a more emollient skin feel in powders and dispersed systems.
