Performance & Formulation Insights for Diamond Variable YG 44
Dynamic Yellow-to-Green Color Travel on Borosilicate Glass
Diamond Variable YG 44 is engineered on a Calcium Sodium Borosilicate glass substrate—exceptionally smooth, transparent platelets that act like tiny mirrors for maximum light reflection. A precisely controlled coating of Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, and Silica creates a vivid color travel that shifts from warm yellow-gold through chartreuse to green depending on the viewing angle.
The large 20–500 μm particle size produces bold, chunky sparkle with a dramatic chromatic shift. Each large glass platelet catches and refracts light independently, creating a mesmerizing, multi-dimensional color play that commands attention in any cosmetic application.
Formulating with Large Color-Travel Borosilicate
With its substantial particle size range, Diamond Variable YG 44 delivers a bold, statement-level sparkle. In liquid and gel systems, use robust suspension agents to maintain even distribution and prevent settling. In pressed formats, deploy as a topper over a base shade to maximize the color-travel effect while maintaining pan integrity.
The borosilicate glass substrate provides superior optical clarity compared to natural mica, ensuring the yellow-to-green color shift remains crisp, vibrant, and free of milky haze. Its chemical stability supports formulation across anhydrous, emulsion, powder, and solvent-based systems.
