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.
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.
Mica makeup is more than just a shimmering trend; it represents a growing awareness of ingredient safety, ethical sourcing, and sustainability in the beauty industry. As beauty enthusiasts continue to advocate for transparent practices and cleaner formulations, mica stands out as a natural choice that enhances both aesthetics and ethics. By choosing products that feature responsibly sourced mica, consumers can enjoy the beauty benefits while supporting positive change in the industry. In this evolving landscape, mica makeup is set to sparkle even brighter in the hearts of those who prioritize both beauty and values.
Mica, a naturally occurring mineral, is known for its exceptional electrical insulation properties, heat resistance, and ability to produce luminous sheen, making it indispensable across multiple industries—from electronics to cosmetics. For a mica exporter, understanding these properties in depth and how they meet specific industry requirements is essential. Not only does this showcase expertise, but it also builds trust with potential buyers who rely on the exporter’s knowledge to fulfill their needs effectively.
With China emerging as a global manufacturing powerhouse, the demand for MICA has surged. The mineral is instrumental in several sectors

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.
