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

Mica powder has emerged as a popular ingredient in the cosmetics industry, celebrated for its unique properties and aesthetic benefits. Derived from natural minerals, mica is a silicate mineral that can be found in various forms, typically in a flaky or sheet-like structure. Its integration into cosmetic products has transformed the way we perceive beauty, bringing forth a radiant, shimmering quality that appeals to consumers worldwide.

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.
