Performance & Formulation Insights for Diamond Star Green
Dramatic Star-Like Sparkle with Interference Color
Diamond Star Green creates a dramatic green effect using large borosilicate glass flakes (50–500 μm) coated with titanium dioxide and tin oxide. These chunky particles act as tiny mirrors, producing dramatic, star-like sparkle with dynamic interference color that shifts with the viewing angle.
The large particle size is specifically engineered for maximum visual impact. Each individual flake is visible to the eye, creating a bold, statement-level glitter effect with the added dimension of color-shifting iridescence.
Formulation Advantages of the Star Series
The Star series is designed for high-impact, chunky sparkle effects. Use in topper-style products, loose powders, and clear suspension systems where the individual flakes can be showcased. In gels and glosses, use robust rheology modifiers to prevent settling.
For pressed formats, deploy as a topper over a base shade to minimize fallout and maximize the dramatic sparkle effect. The smooth borosilicate surface ensures a more comfortable skin feel than traditional plastic glitter.
