A deeper exploration into their logistical frameworks reveals a robust, scalable approach to supply chain management. This adaptability ensures seamless delivery of mica products, which is crucial for industries operating within tight timelines and specifications.

The decision to use natural mica powder over synthetic alternatives comes with multiple benefits. First and foremost, natural mica is generally safer for skin contact. Many synthetic pigments can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. Furthermore, natural mica powder is free from harmful additives, making it suitable for individuals sensitive to certain ingredients in cosmetics.

Modified plastics are used in the medical industry to manufacture various medical devices, surgical instruments, packaging materials, etc.

Understanding Color Shift Pearl Pigment

Later, with the development of science and technology, people gradually realized that mica minerals have high insulation, high temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and mica also began to enter building materials, fire, plastics, paper, rubber, pearlite pigments and other industries. These are mainly Muscovite and phlogopite.

Benefits of Adding Mica Powder to Paint

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

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.

6. Body and Face Shimmers Apart from facial makeup, mica powder is also used in body shimmers and tanning products. It can be dusted on exposed skin for a luminous effect during the summer months or special occasions.

Epoxy pearl pigments are often combined with other cosmetic ingredients to create long-lasting formulas that provide a multi-dimensional effect when applied to the skin. The versatility of these pigments allows makeup artists to experiment with different looks and styles, from subtle highlights to bold, dramatic finishes.
