Many of our commonly used eyeshadow and other cosmetics have added natural or synthetic mica materials to achieve the effect of blingbling, these materials are non-toxic and non-irritating, but may contain some heavy metals, but please rest assured that if you buy regular cosmetics, its composition generally meets the requirements of cosmetics heavy metal indicators, harmless to the human body!!

The mica powder of HUAJING has the advantage of extremely narrow particle size, and the particle size specifications are complete, such as: 2000 mesh, 1250 mesh, 800 mesh, 400 mesh, 120 mesh, etc. The skin feeling is exquisite.

The demand for mica varies across different cosmetic categories, with the highest usage observed in makeup items designed to enhance skin radiance. In eyeshadows, for example, mica provides the shimmering or metallic finish that has become synonymous with high-impact eye looks. Similarly, mica’s light-reflective properties are central to highlighters and blushes, where it creates a luminous, dewy effect on the skin.

When deciding between natural and synthetic mica, it is essential to weigh the specific needs of the application and consider factors such as ethical sourcing, cost, and desired properties. Natural mica excels in aesthetic appeal and has a long-standing reputation in various industries, yet the ethical considerations cannot be overlooked. On the other hand, synthetic mica presents a responsible alternative without compromising on functionality, particularly in applications where consistency and purity are crucial.

One of the most compelling reasons to buy mica powder in bulk is cost efficiency. Purchasing in larger quantities usually leads to a lower price per unit. This is particularly beneficial for businesses or individuals who frequently use mica powder in their projects. Instead of buying small containers that may quickly add up, bulk purchases can result in substantial savings over time. Additionally, many suppliers offer discounts for bulk orders, making this option even more financially appealing.

In 2022, Lingshou Huajing Mica Co., Ltd. launched cosmetic grade mica powder. The flake structure of mica powder can lock the water on the surface of the skin, forming a protective film to effectively prevent water loss. Its unique gloss and reflection effect add natural and charming luster to the skin, and mica powder also has a certain sunscreen effect. To a certain extent, it can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays on the skin, protect the skin from the external environment, and prevent sunburn.

Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder have differences in production methods, heat resistance and color transparency. As the name suggests, natural mica powder is made from natural mica ore after processing, retaining the original characteristics and composition of the ore. Its main components are SiO2 (about 49%) and Al2O3 (about 30%), while also containing K2O+Na2O (9%-11%) and so on. The synthetic mica powder (such as fluoroglogopicite powder), is the use of a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods synthetic, its composition and characteristics can be adjusted and optimized according to the need, the chemical formula is KMg3(AlSi3O10)F2, belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, is a typical layered silicate, relatively single and pure composition. The heat resistance of natural mica powder is generally 500-600℃, and some types, such as phlogopite, can reach 800℃. The heat resistance of synthetic mica powder is more excellent, and it can withstand high temperatures above 1200℃, and the melting point or crystallization temperature is about 1375±5. The transparency of natural mica powder is relatively low, and the color is diverse, including black, yellow, white, gray, green, brown and other colors, and may vary due to different ore types and processing methods. The color of synthetic mica powder is relatively single, usually colorless transparent or white, high whiteness, good optical performance, and high transmittance from ultraviolet to infrared band.

Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:
