Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Shift VBR
Violet-to-Blue-to-Green Color Travel with Metallic Intensity
NovaGlow Shift VBR delivers a dramatic cool-toned color travel, shifting from vivid violet through bright cyan-blue into a cool teal-green. Built on a blend of silica, natural mica, and synthetic fluorphlogopite with titanium dioxide, ferric ferrocyanide, and iron oxides, this pigment produces an intensely reflective, metallic shimmer that stays visually striking across angles and lighting conditions.
Optimized 10–80 μm Particle Size for Smooth, High-Impact Shine
The 10–80 μm particle size range balances optical punch with wearable texture. Finer particles help maintain a smooth laydown on the skin, while the upper range delivers bold sparkle and a foil-like metallic sheen. This makes NovaGlow Shift VBR ideal for eye and face applications where a pronounced shift effect is desired without compromising blendability or comfort.
Formulation Guidance Across Eye, Face, and Nail Systems
NovaGlow Shift VBR disperses efficiently in anhydrous, emulsion, and solvent-based systems. In pressed and loose powders, pairing with suitable binders and slip agents preserves the sharp violet-blue-green shift while minimizing fallout. In liquid and gel formats, pre-wetting the pigment in compatible oils or film formers enhances suspension and payoff. For nail lacquers and gels, controlled viscosity and proper mixing ensure even distribution of platelets for a consistent multitone effect.
As this pigment contains ferric ferrocyanide and iron oxides, it is best positioned for eye, face, and nail categories rather than lip products in order to align with key regulatory frameworks. Always verify regional regulations and usage limits when developing global formulas.
