It's actually a fertilizer. All plants need magnesium to produce anthocyanin. It helps them to make their "food".
I live in Brazil that ir hot! but people say that cold also stress them turning to red color.
I am using magnesium and it works, but I think some succulent as Haworthia turns into brow color , so I am still trying. Some plants as Crassula capitela "camp fire" has a good result.

@Catarina ZS so it's not just stressing them with sunlight that produces more red? Have tried the chemical method? I'd think that's artificial stimulation

A Brazilian biologists has a YouTube channel. He teaches that producers use a specific substance to make suculents more colorful. It is Magnesium, that is commonly sell as sulfate magnesium, and I am using cloridrate magnesium.
I had a ancampsero rufenses some years ago and the leaves was red just in the back! At these point I didn't use magnesium yet.
