- Mineral Makeup Mica powder is often used in mineral foundations, eye shadows, and blushes. Its natural reflective properties provide a luminous finish, making it perfect for enhancing the skin’s radiance. Furthermore, mica powder is generally safe for skin application, making it a preferred choice for mineral cosmetic formulations.

Grade and Fineness: The grade and fineness of the powder also impact pricing. Golden mica powder used in cosmetics is often finer and of a higher grade, increasing its cost compared to industrial-grade mica.
