Performance & Formulation Insights for GlassMira RVB87A
The Science of Borosilicate-Based Color Travel
GlassMira RVB87A utilizes Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, a specialized glass substrate, to achieve its superior visual effects. These large, exceptionally smooth platelets are coated with precise layers of Titanium Dioxide and Tin Oxide. This structure produces a brighter, more transparent, and intensely sparkling color travel effect compared to traditional mica-based pigments. The larger particle size (40–150 μm) maximizes light reflection, yielding a dazzling, glistening finish with a bold red-violet-blue shift.
Formulation Strategies for Large Particle Pigments
Due to its large particle size, GlassMira RVB87A benefits from targeted formulation techniques. In liquid systems such as glosses, liquid eyeshadows, or nail lacquers, incorporate a suspending agent or increase viscosity to minimize settling and ensure even distribution. In pressed powders, it performs best as a ‘topper’ or effect shade; use minimal binder to preserve its high sparkle and chromaticity.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Dramatic Color Travel: Delivers a hypnotizing shift from fiery red to deep violet and brilliant blue for high-impact cosmetics.
- Intense Glistening Sparkle: Large borosilicate particles create a striking, glitter-like shimmer with exceptional reflectivity.
- Exceptional Transparency & Brightness: The glass substrate provides a cleaner, more vibrant color flop than typical mica-based pigments.
- Broad Application Versatility: Suitable for eye, face, lip, and nail formulations, enabling cohesive multi-product collections.
