Performance & Formulation Insights for SilikMira Ice GTV
Groundbreaking ‘Crushable’ Flake Technology
SilikMira Ice GTV is engineered with exceptionally large Calcium Sodium Borosilicate and Silica flakes (200–5000 µm) that deliver bold, high-impact sparkle and a dramatic color-travel effect. These unique flakes are designed to be gently crushed during application, transforming from a chunky texture to a smoother, high-shine finish on the skin while unleashing a vivid shift from green to turquoise to violet.
Technical Formulation Advantages
The extra-large particle size requires suspension-focused formulation strategies. SilikMira Ice GTV excels in high-viscosity gels, thick anhydrous bases, and pressed powder systems where its visual texture is a feature, not a flaw. Its glass-based substrate provides exceptional transparency and brilliance, enabling cleaner, more saturated chromatic shifts than standard mica-based pigments.
When used in pressed powders and bouncy or putty textures, the ‘crushable’ feature allows consumers to modulate finish—from striking, chunky sparkle to a smoother, gleaming sheen—directly on application.
