The Science Behind GlassMira VBG88’s Dazzling Color Travel
Superior Optics of Borosilicate Substrates
GlassMira VBG88 utilizes Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, an exceptionally smooth and transparent glass-like platelet, as its foundation. Unlike natural mica, this synthetic substrate has a highly uniform surface that enables the precise deposition of Titanium Dioxide and Tin Oxide layers. This structural perfection minimizes diffuse scattering and maximizes specular reflection, producing a cleaner, brighter, and more intense violet–blue–green color shift than conventional pearls.
Formulation Advantages of a High-Purity Base
The larger particle size (30–100 µm) is engineered for dramatic sparkle and pronounced color travel. The high-purity borosilicate base presents as a brilliant white powder, allowing the interference colors to appear vivid and true in finished products. This makes GlassMira VBG88 ideal for premium, attention-commanding cosmetics across eye, face, lip, and nail categories.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Hypnotic Color Travel: Shifts visibly from bright violet through blue to shimmering green for show-stopping effects.
- Intense Sparkling Finish: Large, glass-based platelets deliver unparalleled brilliance and a glistening, eye-catching look.
- Exceptional Purity & Brightness: Borosilicate glass provides a cleaner, more reflective base than natural mica for higher chroma and clarity.
- Versatile Application: Proven performance in transparent to semi-transparent systems for eye, face, lip, and nail products.
For maximum color travel, incorporate into a clear or semi-transparent base; applying over a dark substrate amplifies the shift.
