Understanding Mica

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.

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.

Take pearlescent pigments as an example, pearlescent pigments are a class of pigments with pearl luster, which are deposited on the substrate (generally natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheet and other sheet-like materials) above a layer or alternately deposited multiple layers of metal oxides or non-metallic oxides and formed a flat sandwich body with a structure similar to sandwich. Due to the difference in refractive index between the substrate and the oxide deposited on its surface and each oxide, when the light shines on the surface of the pearlescent pigment, the incident light will be refracted and reflected at the interface of each layer of the pearlescent pigment, and the color of the pearlescent pigment that people see is the result of the superposition of light after multiple refractions and reflections of the light, that is, the interference phenomenon of light.

Synthetic mica powder represents a significant advancement in the pursuit of sustainable materials. Its numerous benefits—ranging from safety and consistency to environmental responsibility—make it an ideal choice across various industries. As consumers and companies become more aware of the implications of their choices, the demand for synthetic mica powder is likely to increase. By embracing synthetic alternatives, we can not only ensure product quality but also contribute to a more sustainable and ethical future in sourcing materials.

Sourcing Ethical Mica

The mica industry is undergoing profound changes. With the help of emerging industries, the mica industry will be a large market of more than 10 billion.

The Sustainability Perspective

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.

Mica’s shimmering effect can be attributed to several factors, including its light-reflective properties and the way its thin flakes interact with light. When light strikes a gold mica pigment, it is reflected off the smooth surface of the individual mica particles. This reflection is further enhanced by the mineral’s unique plate-like structure, which scatters light in different directions, creating a soft, glowing effect.

5. Easy Application Mica powder can be seamlessly integrated into lip gloss formulations without compromising texture or application. This ease of use makes it a favorite amongst formulators seeking to create a smooth, easy-to-apply product.
