The layered structure of mica provides a unique optical property known as interference, which creates depth and dimension in colors. This quality makes mica pigments particularly popular in the cosmetics industry for creating shimmering eyeshadows, blushes, and lip products that not only deliver color but also a luminous finish.

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?

Exploring Mica Beauty Cosmetics The Magic Behind Their Eyeshadow Line

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.

Huajing mica cosmetic grade mica powder has been loved by customers since it entered the market, and has a general response, excellent quality, stable quality and high reputation.

1. Layering Start with a base layer and build up color gradually to achieve desired intensity. This method ensures a more seamless blend and prevents overpowering the look.

Mica is a natural mineral that belongs to a group of silicate minerals. It is composed primarily of aluminum silicate, combined with other elements such as potassium, iron, and magnesium. Mica typically exists in two common forms muscovite (white mica) and phlogopite (brown mica). Muscovite is known for its pearly sheen and versatility, while phlogopite provides a darker hue and enhanced thermal stability.

2. Mix with Other Mediums Chameleon mica powder blends well with a variety of mediums, including oils, watercolors, and acrylics. Experimenting with different mixtures can yield stunning results.

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.
