Performance & Formulation Insights for Gemini RG-18
Engineering the Red-to-Green Color Shift
Gemini RG-18 achieves its captivating red-to-green color travel effect through a precise multi-layer coating of silica and iron oxides over a natural mica substrate. This advanced structure manipulates light interference and reflection, causing the perceived color to shift dramatically depending on the viewing angle. The result is a dynamic, fluid color transition that adds a premium, high-tech look to any cosmetic formulation.
Formulation Advantages of a Finer Particle Size
With a controlled particle size range of 20-80 µm, Gemini RG-18 offers a uniquely smooth and luxurious skin feel. This finer distribution enhances blendability in pressed powders, improves stability and helps prevent settling in liquid formulas, and provides a more uniform, high-coverage finish compared to larger particle color travel pigments. Formulators can achieve intense effects without sacrificing a refined texture.
