Mica has a wide range of uses, in ancient China, it is often used to do traditional Chinese medicine, the ancients even think that taking mica: a year to remove all diseases (heavy metal poisoning), three years of long service, husband into a boy (body scrap), Zhongshan uncle Qing suit, over time can become a cloud (soul ascension). However, in the era without glass, the transparency of mica makes it a better decorative material, for example, we are familiar with the mica screen candle shadow deep, the river gradually falling Xiaoxing sink. Mica screen is low, tassel tent is small and mica calf car.
Mica is a silicate mineral composed of multiple layers of silicate sheets that can be separated into thin, flexible sheets. This property, along with excellent thermal resistance, electrical insulation capabilities, and resistance to moisture, makes mica particularly valuable. It is widely used in products such as makeup, insulation materials for electrical devices, and as a filler in various applications.
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.
Advantages of Mica Powder in Cosmetics
Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that forms in thin, flaky layers. When processed, these layers can be broken down into small, reflective particles known as mica flakes. These flakes possess excellent properties like thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and chemical stability. Their shiny, reflective nature makes them popular in decorative finishes and coatings, while their insulating properties are useful in electrical components.
Muscovite forms under metamorphic conditions, where rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures. These conditions alter the original minerals, leading to the recrystallization of new minerals, including muscovite. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks such as schists and gneisses, as well as in igneous rocks that have undergone alteration.
In addition, lepidolite and ferrolepidolite can also be used as mineral raw materials for extracting lithium.
