Formulation & Performance of SilikMira Ice BVR

The Science of Crushable Color Travel

SilikMira Ice BVR leverages a dual-mineral architecture of Calcium Sodium Borosilicate and Silica to create exceptionally large, transparent flakes. Each flake is coated with Titanium Dioxide to deliver an intense interference color travel that shifts from blue to violet to red. The unique crushable structure enables the flakes to break down with gentle pressure during application, transforming a bold, chunky sparkle into a smoother, high-shimmer finish for a dynamic user experience.

Technical Formulation Advantages

Engineered with an extra-large particle size of 200–5000 µm, SilikMira Ice BVR is designed for maximum visual impact. In liquid systems such as gels or glosses, use high-viscosity bases and robust rheology modifiers to prevent settling. For pressed powders, increase liquid binders to secure the large flakes in-pan and enable a clean pickup. Recommended usage levels range from 0.5% to 5% depending on the desired effect and formula type.
