Mica, a naturally occurring mineral, has long been a staple in the cosmetics industry due to its unique ability to reflect light and impart shimmer and shine to products. The increasing popularity of cosmetic products with a glowing, radiant finish has led to a surge in the demand for mica, particularly in makeup formulations such as highlighters, eyeshadows, foundations, and lip products. This article delves into the global demand for cosmetic mica, examining current market trends and offering predictions for the future of the mica industry in cosmetics.

Mica, a silicate mineral, has been a staple in various industries for centuries due to its unique properties, such as dielectric strength, thermal stability, and excellent insulation capabilities. When discussing mica, two primary types often emerge natural mica and synthetic mica. Both materials have their respective advantages and applications, making it important to understand their differences and potential uses.

The mica variety that does not contain iron is colorless in flakes, and the higher the iron content, the darker the color, and the more polychromatic and absorbable it is. According to the different chemical composition and optical characteristics, mica group minerals can be divided into Muscovite subgroup, biotite-phlogopite subgroup and lemica subgroup. The common mica are biotite, phlogopite, Muscovite and so on.

The common characteristics of mica group minerals are: layered silicate minerals, monoclinic crystal system, a few trigonal crystal system, the crystals are pseudo-hexagonal columnar, plate and sheet; The aggregate is scaly and foliaceous. It has a set of extremely complete cleavage, along which it is easy to peel into sheets. Therefore, the shape of mica is usually regarded as sheet.
