Performance & Formulation Insights for Glamour Tropic Red
Borosilicate Base for Unmatched Brilliance
Glamour Tropic Red is engineered on a Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate substrate—an exceptionally smooth, transparent synthetic glass platelet that maximizes light reflection. Compared to natural mica, this substrate delivers a cleaner, brighter sparkle with superior clarity, producing a true high-impact glitter effect with a refined, comfortable feel on the skin.
Vibrant, Carmine-Free Red for Modern Formulations
By incorporating FD&C Red 40 Lake onto the borosilicate base, Glamour Tropic Red achieves a vivid, tropical red hue that is both stable and intensely saturated. This carmine-free approach enables brands to formulate vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics without sacrificing bold color performance.
