The key to mica’s unique properties lies in its crystalline structure. The mineral’s ability to reflect and refract light is what gives mica pigments their shimmering, pearlescent, and metallic finish. When ground into fine particles and mixed with other ingredients, these pigments create a lustrous effect that enhances the appearance of makeup and skin care products.

Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the implications of their purchases, prompting a shift towards brands that prioritize ethical sourcing. This trend not only fosters responsible mining practices but also encourages innovation in the formulation of cosmetics, leading to the exploration of alternative ingredients and synthetic mica.

Identification and recording:

Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder also have great differences in electrical insulation, mechanical properties, chemical stability, application range and cost. Natural mica powder has good electrical insulation, but the volume resistivity is lower than that of synthetic mica. Synthetic mica powder has better electrical insulation properties, high volume resistivity and stable dielectric constant, and is suitable for high performance electrical insulation materials. The hardness of natural mica powder is relatively low (2-3), and it has good elasticity and peeling property. The hardness of synthetic mica powder is higher (between 3 and 4), and the tensile strength and compressive strength are better than that of natural mica powder. Natural mica powder is stable in acid-base solution, but it is easy to decompose at high temperature. Synthetic mica powder is stable to acid and base at room temperature, but will be slowly corroded by sulfuric acid above 300℃. Better thermal stability, not easy to release gas. Natural mica powder is widely used in electrical appliances, welding rods, rubber, plastics, paper making, paint and other fields. Synthetic mica powder is mainly used in high-end electrical insulation materials, aviation, aerospace, national defense industry and other high-tech fields. Because synthetic mica powder needs to be produced through complex chemical processes, its production cost is usually higher than that of natural mica powder. Therefore, in the market, the price of synthetic mica powder is often higher than that of natural mica powder. However, with the continuous progress of production technology and the gradual emergence of scale effects, the price of synthetic mica powder is expected to gradually decrease.

Huajing mica cosmetic grade mica powder has been loved by customers since it entered the market, and has a general response, excellent quality, stable quality and high reputation.

Moreover, transportation costs and tariffs also play a crucial role in determining the price of golden mica. Given that mica is primarily exported from developing nations, any political unrest or changes in trade policies can lead to disruptions in supply, ultimately affecting pricing. For instance, trade tensions between major economies can indirectly impact mica prices by altering market dynamics and increasing costs of imports.
