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.
