Understanding the Performance of Glamour Gold Chrome

The Borosilicate Advantage for Unmatched Sparkle

Glamour Gold Chrome is engineered on a synthetic glass substrate (Aluminum Calcium Sodium Silicate), commonly known as borosilicate. Compared to natural mica, this substrate is exceptionally transparent and smooth, allowing light to pass through the platelet and reflect cleanly from precision oxide coatings. The result is a purer color and a brighter, more intense sparkle than traditional pearl pigments can deliver.

Formulation Benefits of Large Particle Size

The 50–250µm particle size range is central to its dramatic, glistening appearance. While large particles can sometimes feel gritty, the smooth borosilicate surface provides a surprisingly comfortable, luxurious feel. In practice, this pigment suspends well in viscous systems such as lip gloss and nail lacquer, producing high-impact finishes that capture and reflect light for a truly eye-catching result.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Superior Sparkle & Luster: The transparent glass substrate delivers higher-purity color and a more brilliant sparkle than natural mica-based pearls.
  • Eye-Catching Glistening Effect: Large particles create a bold, glittering look ideal for on-trend, statement formulations.
  • Smooth Application Feel: Despite the size, the borosilicate base offers a smoother feel than comparable glitter pigments.
  • Versatile Formulation: Performs in anhydrous, solvent-based, and high-viscosity systems including lip glosses, nail polishes, gels, and creams.
