Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for SynMira Shimmer TVR8379
Engineering Dynamic Color on a Superior Substrate
SynMira Shimmer TVR8379 is engineered on synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica), a high-purity substrate prized for its brightness, transparency, and ultra-smooth platelet structure. This clarity enables cleaner color expression versus natural mica. The vivid orange-lilac-blue color travel is produced by depositing ultra-thin layers of metal oxides (Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Silica) onto the synthetic mica platelets. As light interacts with these layers, it reflects and refracts at varying angles, producing a striking, multi-chrome shift across warm orange, lilac, and cool blue.
Tin Oxide is included to fine-tune reflectivity and durability of the coating stack, ensuring a crisp, high-contrast shift with excellent sparkle and clarity in both clear and pigmented bases.
Formulation Benefits of Synthetic Mica
Synthetic mica offers consistent particle morphology and a uniform surface, delivering predictable performance and reliable batch-to-batch reproducibility. Its smooth platelets impart a creamy, cushiony feel in pressed and anhydrous systems and enhance skin adhesion for long wear. These attributes make TVR8379 ideal for premium color cosmetics where both optical impact and sensorial elegance are critical.
Formulating with a Broad Particle Size Range (20–100 μm)
The 20–100 μm distribution balances smooth shimmer with visible sparkle for multi-dimensional effects. In suspension-based liquids and gels, use robust rheology modifiers (e.g., hectorite/synthetic clays or yield-thixotropic systems) to prevent settling. In pressed powders, the platelet shape supports excellent compressibility and high payoff with minimal fallout. For hot-pour systems (highlighters, lipsticks), the coating stack remains stable under typical processing temperatures, delivering a glossy, color-shifting finish.
