Technical Profile: Engineering High-Impact Color Travel
The Science of Extreme Sparkle & Color Shift
SynMira-Ice VRO847 utilizes large, exceptionally smooth synthetic fluorphlogopite platelets as its substrate. These are coated with precise layers of silica, titanium dioxide, and tin oxide, which manipulate light to create both an intense sparkle and a vivid color travel effect from violet and blue to red and orange. The large particle size (100–260 µm) maximizes light reflection, resulting in a brilliant, glitter-like effect with the sophisticated color shift of a premium interference pigment.
Formulation Advantages over Traditional Alternatives
This pigment is engineered to provide a high-chroma, clean sparkle, offering a distinct advantage over borosilicate-based pigments. The synthetic mica base ensures high purity and consistency for exceptional brightness and color intensity.
When formulating, its larger particle size requires attention to suspension. In liquid systems, viscosity-building agents like hectorite, bentonite, or fumed silica can ensure even distribution and prevent settling, delivering a homogenous and dazzling finish in the final product.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Intense Color Travel: Creates a dramatic violet–blue–red–orange color shift for visually complex and engaging cosmetic products.
- Extreme Sparkling Effect: The large particle size delivers a brilliant, high-impact sparkle that stands out in any formulation.
- High Purity & Chroma: Built on a synthetic mica substrate for superior brightness, purity, and color intensity compared to natural mica alternatives.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for eyes, face, lips, and nails where a bold, glittering, and color-shifting effect is desired.
