Cosmetic Grade Mica Powder-CAS 12001-26-2
Cosmetic Grade Mica Powder is a high-purity natural layered silicate mineral powder, specially purified and processed for high-end cosmetic formula applications. It has a unique layered sheet microcrystalline structure with excellent light refraction and diffuse reflection performance, which can convert ordinary flat matte makeup into hierarchical soft shimmer makeup, creating natural pearl luster and satin luminous texture.
After ultra-fine grinding and high-temperature impurity removal treatment, the powder has uniform particle size, pure color, ultra-low impurity content and stable chemical inertness. It not only solves the problems of poor ductility, gritty texture and uneven color rendering of ordinary powder, but also optimizes the moldability and adhesion of cosmetic powder systems.
It can subtly adjust the gloss level of makeup, avoid harsh glare, and endow cosmetics with high-grade soft luminous texture. It is the most mainstream and versatile base material for luxury shimmer cosmetic formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
• Q1: What is the MOQ of Cosmetic Grade Mica Powder?
A1: The standard MOQ is 25KG, and sample orders are supported for formula testing and efficacy trial production.
• Q2: What compliance documents can be provided for cosmetics filing?
A2: Complete COA, MSDS, heavy metal test report and microbial test report are available, fully supporting domestic cosmetic filing and international export customs clearance.
• Q3: What is the recommended dosage in cosmetic formulas?
A3: Pearlescent eyeshadow & blush: 30%–70%; Highlighter & shimmer powder: 50%–90%; Shimmer loose/pressed powder: 20%–50%; Glossy makeup base: 25%–60%, adjustable according to product shimmer and texture requirements.
• Q4: What is the difference between mica powder and talc powder?
A4: Talc focuses on matte oil control and smoothness; mica powder focuses on natural pearl shimmer and light refraction. Mica has layered light-guiding structure to create luminous makeup, while talc is suitable for pure matte makeup. The two can be compounded to balance matte and shimmer texture.
• Q5: Is cosmetic grade mica safe for long-term facial use?
A5: Yes. Our mica powder is deeply purified with ultra-low heavy metal and no harmful impurities, non-irritating and non-sensitizing, fully compliant with international cosmetic safety regulations, safe for long-term facial contact.
• Q6: What are the formula matching notes?
A6: Fully disperse and stir evenly during batching; compound with talc powder to adjust matte-shimmer balance; control dosage to avoid excessive shimmer glare; store finished products in moisture-proof sealing to protect luster stability.
• Q7: Do you support stable mass supply and customized processing?
A7: Standardized purification production line ensures stable batch whiteness, particle size and luster. Sufficient inventory all year round supports long-term bulk orders and customized particle size processing for exclusive formulas.
