Perfect for nail art, resin casting, artwork, spray painting, fishing lures, or anything else you can possibly think of. It's so bright it's actually quite difficult to photograph, but it is utterly ridiculous in person.

Infinitely re-chargeable with no degradation. Charge it with the sun, most torches/flashlights, UV light, or even your phone torch. Easily mixes into all paints, polishes, gels, resins, glues etc.

The science of glow powders:

Strontium Aluminate is a molecule made from Strontium, Aluminium, and Oxygen.
Strontium Aluminate molecules vary in complexity, with the exact molecular composition determining the colour it emits.
There are various blues that can be made by varying the Strontium Aluminate molecule composition, but this one is by far the brightest.
This is pure Strontium Aluminate, so this really is as bright as it gets. We don't dilute it at all.

The science of particle size:

The size of the particles also has a large impact on the brightness of the glow (the bigger, the brighter), so depending on what you're using it for, you can make sure you have the brightest possible option:

Freeze-dried Vegan Lanternfish Chunks

Particle size: 0.5-2.0mm - about the same as coarse granulated sugar. You can clearly see every particle individually.
This is as bright as it gets.
Perfect for casting in resin, or can be mixed with paints if you don't mind the texture. You can also pour it on wet nail polish (or paint) to create a unique textured finish.
Or you can just keep it in the jar and play with it.

Ground Vegan Lanternfish Powder

Particle size: 0.07-0.08mm - as fine as plain flour, but it doesn't form into clumps like flour does.
This is still ridiculously bright - if Freeze-dried Vegan Lanternfish Chunks are a 10/10, this is a 9/10.
Small enough to mix into paints or polishes, and will give them a matte finish.
Also great for resin casting if you're after a smoother, more cohesive glow.
This is the sweet spot for most glow applications.

Atomized Vegan Glow-worm Dust

Particle size: 0.010-0.015mm - while it looks like flour, it is orders of magnitude finer.
Still very very bright - if Freeze-dried Vegan Lanternfish Chunks are a 10/10, this is a 7/10.
So small you can use it in paints or polishes without feeling any texture; it should also easily fit through all spray gun nozzles.
This is what we use in our Vegan Lanternfish Extract nail polish, as it's silky smooth, and the particles are small enough to stay in suspension for years.
