Asked by: chutamas.ut On: February 14, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

I want to add Mica to my face cream. What effect does adding Mica provide compared to other ingredients like Titanium Dioxide (for whitening/UV), SoftGlow™ (Alumina) (for glow), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (for coverage/brightness), or MatteSilica (for softness/oil absorption)? Which type and size of White Pearl Mica are suitable for face cream to achieve a natural pearlescent look without large glitter particles?

Answer

White Pearl Mica for Face Cream

White pearl mica is used to add a pearlescent or shimmering effect to the skin, which provides a different result compared to other ingredients the staff suggested, such as Titanium Dioxide (for skin whitening and UV protection), SoftGlow™ (Alumina) (for a glowy finish), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (for coverage and brightness), or MatteSilica (for softness and oil absorption).

For small-sized white pearl mica that can be used in face cream to give the skin a natural pearlescent look without large glitter particles, we recommend the White Pearl Mica, sparkling white product line, which offers various particle sizes depending on your needs:

  • White Pearl Mica, sparkling white (size A --) and White Pearl Mica, sparkling white (size A -): These are the smallest particle sizes, suitable for face cream, foundation, or BB/CC Cream formulas that require just a sheen on the skin without sparkle.
  • White Pearl Mica, sparkling white (size A): This has a particle size of approximately 30 microns and provides a more noticeable shine, suitable for adding shine to the product texture.

You can choose the size that best suits your desired effect.
