X represents large interlayer cations, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Rb+, Cs+, etc. Y represents octahedral cations, such as Al3+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+, etc. Z is mainly Si4+ and Al3+; The ideal ratio of the additional anion (OH)- to (O)2- is 2:10, and (OH)- can be replaced by F- and Cl-. Most mica contain 4% to 5% water. Therefore, although they may be called mica, the chemical composition of different mica may be very different, for the purpose of research, we collectively refer to the minerals with this type of characteristics as mica group minerals.

What is Mica Powder?

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.

4. Customizable Effects Depending on the desired effect, users can manipulate the amount of mica powder added to the resin, allowing for different levels of shimmer and opacity. This adaptability empowers artists to experiment and innovate in their craft.

In addition, lepidolite and ferrolepidolite can also be used as mineral raw materials for extracting lithium.

The cosmetic industry has embraced initiatives that promote the use of safe and non-toxic ingredients. This includes regulations on color additives and adherence to guidelines set by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and the European Commission in the EU. By prioritizing lip safe mica, cosmetic companies can assure consumers that their products are not only beautiful but also safe to use.
