Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Smooth BVR

Violet-to-Blue Color Travel on a Silica–Mica Base

NovaGlow Smooth BVR is a semi-transparent, violet-to-blue color travel pigment engineered on a blend of silica and natural mica with a titanium dioxide coating. This architecture creates a clean, luminous base that allows the violet and blue shifts to read clearly, while maintaining a smooth, refined sparkle instead of a chunky glitter look. Depending on viewing angle and lighting, the effect moves from a vivid, shimmering violet-purple into a rich, electric blue for dynamic, multidimensional payoff.

Medium Particle Size for Dimensional Sparkle

With a particle size range of 20–100 μm, NovaGlow Smooth BVR delivers noticeable sparkle and color travel while still feeling comfortable on the skin and lips. The controlled distribution balances reflectivity and laydown, making it ideal for eye, face, lip, and nail formats where you want dramatic effect without gritty texture. The semi-transparent nature of the pigment also makes it highly layerable over existing color bases, transforming creams, liquids, and powders with a cool-toned, shifting highlight.
