Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined from the earth. It consists of silicate minerals that are prized for their ability to be split into thin sheets. These sheets can then be ground into a fine powder, yielding a product that is both lightweight and reflective. Naturally sourced, mica powder comes in a variety of colors and finishes—from matte to highly reflective shimmers. This range of options allows cosmetic brands to create a plethora of products that cater to different consumer preferences.

Understanding MICA

Mica is a new non-metallic crystal material, a national key new material, with heat insulation, insulation, high temperature resistance characteristics, is an important material in aerospace, rail transit, nuclear power, wind power, aircraft carriers and other high-tech fields, but also electrical equipment, wire and cable, household appliances indispensable insulation material, in the national economy and national defense construction plays an important role.

The Future of Mica in China

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.

2. Light-Reflecting Properties The shimmering quality of synthetic fluorphlogopite allows for the formulation of makeup that enhances the skin’s natural radiance. When used in foundations or highlighters, it helps to create a luminous finish, making the skin appear more vibrant and youthful.
