Performance & Formulation Insights for GlassMira VBG87B

Unlocking Dazzling Effects with Borosilicate Substrate

GlassMira VBG87B utilizes a calcium aluminum borosilicate substrate—a specialized cosmetic glass—that is exceptionally smooth and transparent. This enables purer light reflection and refraction than natural mica, producing a cleaner, brighter, and more intense color travel effect. The large particle size (40–150 μm) further elevates performance by creating a bold, glistening sparkle that catches the light from every angle for a truly hypnotic violet-to-blue-to-green shift.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The unique structure of the glass platelets supports excellent suspension in liquid and gel systems, minimizing settling for a consistently dazzling effect. Owing to its high intrinsic brightness, formulators can achieve dramatic visual impact at lower usage levels compared to conventional pearl pigments—making it a highly efficient option for premium special effect cosmetics.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Intense Color Travel: Delivers a hypnotizing violet-to-blue-to-green chromatic shift for high-impact, multi-dimensional looks.
  • Superior Sparkle & Brilliance: The transparent borosilicate base and large particle size combine to create an exceptionally bright, clean, glistening effect.
  • Clean & Conscious: Vegan, cruelty-free, and considered natural per ISO16128—ideal for modern clean beauty launches.
  • Versatile Application: Proven performance across lip gloss, nail lacquer, gel systems, and anhydrous or suspension-based formulas.
