Let me start by saying this pigment is STUNNING. The Dark Ocean Blue shade has this mesmerizing depth – like staring into the Caribbean sea at midnight. I used it for an epoxy river table project, and wow does it deliver.

The color payoff is insane. Just 1 teaspoon per 1.3/4 cups of resin gave me that perfect deep blue hue. What surprised me most? How far this little jar goes. After completing two full table projects (including filling some gnarly rot holes), I've still got plenty left.

Pro tip from my experience: Pour technique matters! Top-down pouring creates gorgeous swirls, while bottom-up (with the piece upside down) gives a more uniform look. Both are beautiful, but that swirly effect? Chef's kiss.

The powder mixes like a dream – no clumping whatsoever in my resin. And when the light hits? That subtle iridescence makes the color shift from deep blue to almost teal-green in certain angles.

Now for the real test: My son (a budding young entrepreneur) used some in his lip gloss line, and customers went wild for that unique blue-green shift. The powder passed all safety tests with flying colors too.

Only minor gripe? The color looks slightly muted when first poured from the bottom-up technique, but proper sanding and finishing with Rubio Monocoat brings back all its vibrancy.

Whether you're doing resin art, soap making, or cosmetics, this pigment delivers professional results every time. At this price point for 50g? Absolute steal compared to craft store alternatives.
