Mica-based pigments are commonly utilized in cosmetics, where they contribute to products like eyeshadows, highlighters, and lip glosses, providing that coveted shimmery glow. In the food industry, they are often used to decorate confections, baked goods, and beverages, adding visual appeal without altering the flavor.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
