Mica Powder

Mica Powder is a naturally occurring mineral pigment that has been finely ground and purified for cosmetic-grade use. Known for its brilliant shimmer and pearlescent finish, mica is widely used in makeup, soaps, scrubs, body oils, and craft cosmetics.

It provides a safe, non-toxic, and stable way to add sparkle, vibrant color, and visual appeal to both skincare and personal care products. Cosmetic formulators choose mica because it disperses easily in bases, holds color well, and gives products a luxurious finish.
