Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Smooth YGB

Color-Travel Optics from Blue to Green to Yellow-Gold

NovaGlow Smooth YGB delivers a dramatic, multi-directional color shift that moves from a cool, vibrant blue through a bright lime green into a warm, luminous yellow-gold. The effect is smooth and shimmery rather than chunky, creating a refined color-travel finish that is ideal for elevated eye, face, lip, and nail concepts. Over light bases it appears ethereal and airy, while deeper bases unlock stronger contrast and bolder blue-to-green-to-gold shifts.

20–100 μm Particle Size for Smooth Yet Striking Shine

With a particle size range of 20–100 μm, NovaGlow Smooth YGB sits in the sweet spot between fine pearls and visible effect pigments. This distribution provides a noticeable sparkle and color shift without the gritty feel associated with chunky glitters. The platelets lay down evenly, supporting low fall-out in pressed powders and a comfortable, non-scratchy sensation in lip and face applications.

Silica-Enhanced Natural Mica for Versatile, Semi-Transparent Effects

Built on a natural mica and silica base with a titanium dioxide coating, NovaGlow Smooth YGB offers semi-transparent coverage that layers effortlessly over existing color. The silica contribution enhances slip and blendability, making it easy to disperse into both anhydrous and emulsion systems. Formulators can use it as a transformative topper over matte bases, a primary effect pigment in clear systems, or as a subtle accent to add movement and dimension to otherwise flat shades.

Frequently Asked Questions About NovaGlow Smooth YGB

NovaGlow Smooth YGB travels from a cool, vibrant blue through a bright lime green into a warm, yellow-gold glow. The shift is clearly visible and changes with viewing angle and lighting, delivering a smooth, multi-dimensional effect rather than a chunky glitter look.

Its semi-transparent nature allows underlying colors to remain visible, making it ideal as a topper or layering pigment. You can lay it over existing shades to add movement and sparkle without completely obscuring the base color.

Yes, NovaGlow Smooth YGB is classified for use in lip applications and can be incorporated into glosses, balms, and hybrid lip tints. As with any pigment, formulators should verify regional regulatory requirements for their specific market and finished product.

Deeper or contrasting bases such as black, navy, or deep teal will amplify the blue and green aspects of the shift, while light or nude bases create a softer, more luminous yellow-gold sparkle. Experimenting with different backgrounds is the easiest way to tune the final effect.

Yes, NovaGlow Smooth YGB can be used in both water-based and oil-based systems when properly dispersed. Pre-wetting the pigment with a suitable binder or humectant in your chosen phase helps ensure uniform distribution and a consistent, streak-free effect.

The 20–100 μm range provides a visible, eye-catching sparkle and strong color travel while maintaining a smooth feel. It avoids the gritty texture associated with larger particle glitters, making it comfortable for use on the eyes, face, and lips.

To maximize color travel in pressed powders, keep the pigment level high enough to maintain platelets near the surface and avoid over-binding, which can bury the effect. Using a smooth, even press and pairing with contrasting matte bases will help the blue-to-green-to-gold shift read clearly on the skin.
