Performance & Formulation Insights for Biluna Brilliant Sparkle UVS

The Science of a Superior Satin Finish

Biluna Brilliant Sparkle UVS is composed of pure Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl), a specialty pigment prized for its unique crystal structure. Unlike the flat platelets of mica, BiOCl forms nacreous, four-sided tetragonal crystals that create a distinctively rich, satiny luster. This structure scatters light to deliver excellent coverage alongside a soft-focus effect, optically diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a perfected finish.

Advanced Formulation Advantages

The primary benefit of formulating with Biluna Brilliant Sparkle UVS lies in its exceptional compressibility. The crystalline platelets readily adhere under pressure, reducing the amount of binder required in pressed powder formulations.

This results in a creamier texture, better skin adhesion, and extended wear. Its inertness and particle shape also ensure strong performance across various systems, from anhydrous lipsticks to water-based foundations.
