Moonshine was recently showcased at in-cosmetics Global (14–16 April), where the Glassflake team engaged with formulators and product developers from across the global beauty and personal care industry.
At Stand 2G618, the focus was on demonstrating how borosilicate effect pigments can support the development of visually striking, high-performance cosmetic formulations.
Delivering Visual Impact Through Advanced Pigment Technology
Moonshine pigments are engineered to deliver high-impact optical effects, enabling formulators to create enhanced depth, luminosity, and visual differentiation across a wide range of applications.
From colour cosmetics to skin-enhancing formulations, the ability to achieve consistent, controlled visual performance continues to be a key driver for innovation.
Key Trends from the Show Floor
Discussions throughout the event highlighted several important trends within the beauty sector:
- Continued demand for visually distinctive formulations, particularly in colour cosmetics
- Increasing focus on sensory and aesthetic performance, alongside functionality
- A shift towards high-purity, consistent materials that support reliable formulation outcomes
These insights reinforce the growing importance of advanced pigment technologies in meeting both formulation and consumer expectations
Industry Perspective
Simon Brigham, Managing Director of Glassflake, commented:
“in-cosmetics Global provided an excellent platform to engage directly with formulators and industry professionals. We’re seeing a clear shift towards higher performance, more consistent material solutions — particularly in areas such as visual differentiation and sensory optimisation.
Our Moonshine pigment technologies are designed to support these requirements, offering formulators greater control over both aesthetics and performance.”
Looking Ahead
The level of engagement at this year’s event highlights the continued demand for innovative pigment solutions that deliver both visual impact and formulation reliability.
