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.

Frequently Asked Questions About NovaGlow Shift VBR

NovaGlow Shift VBR creates a cool-toned color travel that moves from vivid violet through bright blue into a cool teal-green, with a strong metallic shimmer visible across angles and lighting.

Yes, NovaGlow Shift VBR is designed for eye-focused applications such as pressed and loose shadows, liquid eye colors, and eyeliners, provided your final formula complies with regional cosmetic regulations.

Because NovaGlow Shift VBR contains ferric ferrocyanide, it is best reserved for eye, face, and nail applications rather than lip products, especially in regions where ferric ferrocyanide is restricted on lips. Always confirm local regulatory status before use.

The 10–80 μm particle size range provides a balance of smooth application with a bold, sparkling metallic effect. Finer particles help maintain comfort and blendability, while larger platelets amplify the violet-blue-green shift and light reflection.

For powders, blend gently with base fillers and binders to avoid fracturing the platelets. In liquids, pre-wet the pigment in compatible oils, esters, or film formers, then incorporate under moderate shear to achieve a uniform suspension without over-grinding.

Yes, NovaGlow Shift VBR is vegan and carmine-free, relying on mineral and synthetic substrates rather than animal-derived colorants, making it suitable for ethically positioned product lines.

For the most dramatic violet-to-blue-to-green shift, apply NovaGlow Shift VBR over dark or contrasting bases, keep pigment loading sufficiently high, and use smooth, film-forming systems that allow the platelets to align and reflect light cleanly.
