All-natural mica powder shines as a multi-functional ingredient, celebrated for its beauty, versatility, and eco-friendly nature. Whether enhancing the allure of cosmetics or adding a touch of brilliance to artistic creations, mica's unique qualities make it a prized asset. As consumers increasingly seek products that are both safe for their health and the environment, the demand for natural mica powder is expected to grow.

Sustainable Alternatives

Mica powder, known as industrial monosodium glutamate, is widely used. With the continuous development of technology and application market, and some new requirements have been put forward for the quality of mica powder, so synthetic mica powder has been developed. Compared with the natural mica powder processed by natural mica ore, and the synthetic mica powder synthesized by using a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods. What are the advantages and differences between them?

Why Choose Mica for Soap Coloring?

Mica powder is incredibly versatile, with applications stretching beyond the cosmetics industry. In makeup, it is used to create stunning effects, from the soft glow of a highlighter to the vibrant hues of eye shadows and blushes. The powder can be mixed with various mediums to create shimmering lip glosses or used as a natural pigment in foundations and primers.

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.

Shimmer mica, a natural mineral renowned for its captivating luster and unique reflective properties, has been cherished for centuries across various cultures and industries. This fascinating mineral belongs to a class of silicate minerals and is primarily composed of silicon, oxygen, and various metals, including aluminum, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Its layered structure grants it the distinctive ability to flake, which not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its diverse applications.

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

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.
