As weightless as it is radiant, Glow Up Effect is a moisturizing lotion infused with pearlescent pigments that deliver an instant, luminous glow. Powered by Olivem® Essenza—a naturally derived O/W emulsifier designed for low-viscosity, fluid emulsions—it offers a smooth, refined texture with a light, elegant feel.
The formula is enriched with Biochemica® Refined Avocado Oil, prized for its excellent slip and skin affinity, and Sensolene®, a high-performance emollient with silicone-like spreadability that ensures even pigment dispersion.
Silky, airy, and refreshingly light, it glides effortlessly onto the skin and absorbs quickly, leaving a dry-touch, non-greasy finish. The result is a seamless blend that enhances the skin’s natural tone, imparting a soft, radiant glow and a beautifully subtle shimmer across both face and body.
