The application of mica in candle making is relatively straightforward. Candle makers can sprinkle mica powder directly into melted wax; starting with small amounts and gradually adjusting to achieve the desired intensity. Alternatively, mica can be mixed with a small amount of oil before being added to the wax; this method helps to prevent clumping and ensures an even distribution of color. The result is a candle that not only looks beautiful but also retains the quality of the wax and fragrance.

4. Safety and Purity As a synthetic ingredient, fluorphlogopite is produced under controlled conditions, ensuring consistency and purity. Unlike natural mica, which can sometimes contain impurities, synthetic fluorphlogopite can be made free from contaminants, allergens, and heavy metals. This makes it a safer option for individuals with sensitive skin or those who prioritize ingredient transparency.
