Performance & Formulation Insights for Fiesta Gemini BRO-28

Advanced Chromatic Shift on Synthetic Mica

Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 achieves its dramatic blue-to-orange color travel through a precise coating of iron oxides and silica on an ultra-pure synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate. Unlike natural mica, synthetic mica offers a smoother surface and higher purity, which results in cleaner, brighter, and more chromatic color expression. This advanced structure allows for a vivid and distinct color shift as the viewing angle changes.

Formulating with Large Particle Pigments

With a particle size range of 80-180 μm, Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 is designed to create a bold, sparkling, and glitter-like effect.

When formulating, it is crucial to use suspension aids and rheology modifiers in liquid-based systems (like nail polish or lip gloss) to ensure the particles remain evenly distributed. In pressed powders, its larger size contributes to a dazzling, high-impact finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fiesta Gemini BRO-28

The color shift is an optical effect created by coating a smooth synthetic mica platelet with precise layers of iron oxide and silica, which reflect and refract light at different angles.
Yes, the components of Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 are globally approved for all cosmetic applications, including eye, lip, face, and nail products.
This pigment has a large particle size range of 80-180 μm, which is responsible for its highly sparkling, glitter-like visual effect.
Absolutely. It is formulated without titanium dioxide and is also vegan and cruelty-free, meeting several key clean beauty criteria.
Fiesta Gemini BRO-28 provides a similar high-impact sparkle and color travel effect to many borosilicate pigments but serves as a more cost-effective alternative.
While it has a large particle size for visual effect, the synthetic mica substrate is a very smooth platelet, which results in a surprisingly smooth and comfortable skin feel for its size.
For liquid formulas like nail polish or lip gloss, using a gelling agent or rheology modifier to increase the viscosity is recommended to ensure the large particles stay evenly suspended.
