Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for Glamour CF Hot Pink
The Science of Intense Sparkle
Glamour CF Hot Pink achieves its signature glistening effect through the use of large-particle borosilicate glass. This exceptionally smooth and transparent substrate acts like a tiny mirror, providing superior light reflection compared to standard mica. Coated with Titanium Dioxide and a vibrant Red 7 Lake, each particle delivers a flash of brilliant pink sparkle, creating a truly eye-catching and luxurious finish.
Formulation Best Practices for Large Particles
Due to its 50-250 μm particle size, achieving stable suspension is key. In low-viscosity systems like nail polish or body sprays, incorporating a suitable rheology modifier (e.g., hectorite gel) is recommended to prevent settling. The pigment’s robust structure makes it ideal for anhydrous (oil/silicone-based) and solvent-based formulas, where it disperses easily to provide consistent, high-impact sparkle.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Intense Glistening Sparkle: Large borosilicate particles create a dazzling, high-impact shimmer effect that stands out in any formulation.
- Smooth, Non-Gritty Feel: Despite its large particle size, the glass substrate provides a surprisingly smooth and comfortable texture, even in lip products.
- Vibrant, Carmine-Free Color: Delivers a bold, hot pink hue using Red 7 Lake, making it a vegan-friendly and cruelty-free alternative to carmine.
- Broad Application Use: Excellent performance and stability in lip gloss, nail lacquer, body glitter, and liquid eyeshadow applications.
