Performance & Formulation Insights for Fiesta Gemini YGB-24

Engineering High-Chroma Color Travel

Fiesta Gemini YGB-24 achieves its dramatic Gold–Green–Blue color travel through a precise coating of iron oxides and silica on an ultra-smooth synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica) substrate. This clean, pure base enhances optical interference, delivering higher chroma and a more vivid, brilliant color shift than natural mica-based alternatives.

Engineered without titanium dioxide, this system maintains exceptional color purity and a luminous finish, offering a premium alternative to borosilicate-based pigments across a range of cosmetic formats.

Leveraging Large Particle Size for Maximum Impact

With an 80–180 μm particle size, Fiesta Gemini YGB-24 is designed for maximum visual impact—creating a distinct sparkling, scintillating finish ideal for statement products such as eyeshadow toppers, body shimmers, and high-definition highlighters. Despite the large particle size, the synthetic mica substrate provides a smoother feel and excellent adhesion for comfortable, long-wearing applications.
