Performance & Formulation Insights for Diamond Variable GV 64

The Science of Chunky Color Travel

Diamond Variable GV 64 is engineered with large-particle Calcium Sodium Borosilicate (borosilicate glass) flakes. These ultra-smooth, highly transparent platelets serve as the substrate, delivering exceptional brightness and a comfortable feel on skin and lips despite their size. A precision Titanium Dioxide coating on the glass flakes refracts light to produce a dramatic green-to-violet color travel, creating a hypnotic, multi-dimensional effect.

Formulating for Maximum Impact

With a substantial particle size of 20–500 µm, Diamond Variable GV 64 produces a bold, chunky sparkle rather than a fine shimmer. It excels in topper-style products and clear or translucent suspension systems where the individual flakes can be showcased. In gels and glosses, use robust suspension/rheology systems to prevent settling. For pressed formats, deploy as a topper over a base shade to minimize fallout and highlight its dazzling color travel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Diamond Variable GV 64

The chunky effect is due to its large particle size range of 20–500 microns, which creates a distinct and highly reflective sparkle rather than a fine shimmer.
No. Diamond Variable GV 64 is made from smooth borosilicate (glass) flakes, which feel comfortable and non-gritty even at a large particle size.
The differences are the substrate and particle size. This pigment uses a highly transparent borosilicate base for extra brightness and has a much larger particle size, creating a chunky glitter effect rather than a smooth, pearlescent finish.
It can be used as a topper in pressed formats, but its large particle size is not ideal as the main component of a traditionally pressed powder. It performs best in gels, glosses, and liquids.
Yes. It is vegan, cruelty-free, and aligned with ISO16128 naturality standards, making it suitable for clean and conscious formulations.
Clear or transparent bases such as lip gloss, body gels, and nail lacquer toppers allow maximum light interaction with the flakes, showcasing the full green-to-violet shift.
