What is Mica Powder?

X represents large interlayer cations, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Rb+, Cs+, etc. Y represents octahedral cations, such as Al3+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+, etc. Z is mainly Si4+ and Al3+; The ideal ratio of the additional anion (OH)- to (O)2- is 2:10, and (OH)- can be replaced by F- and Cl-. Most mica contain 4% to 5% water. Therefore, although they may be called mica, the chemical composition of different mica may be very different, for the purpose of research, we collectively refer to the minerals with this type of characteristics as mica group minerals.  

These components require materials with non-toxic, odorless, corrosion-resistant, and easy to disinfect properties, and modified plastics can meet these requirements.

In the cosmetics industry, mica powder has become a staple ingredient in a wide range of products, including eyeshadows, highlighters, and lip glosses. Its natural sparkle provides a shimmering effect that is both eye-catching and flattering. Additionally, mica is often preferred over synthetic colorants because it is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it a safer choice for personal care products. The increasing consumer demand for clean and natural beauty products has further propelled the popularity of mica powder in this sector.
