“Closest ingredient-family evidence: colored cosmetics containing mineral pigments such as mica can camouflage pigment/contour imperfections and improve visible skin appearance, but this is cosmetic/optical rather than biological skin treatment.”

Light purple mica powder Size A powder is suitable for color to cover.
Pearl powder size selection advice (Pearl Mica / Shimmer Mica):
Size "A" The powder particles are approximately 30 microns in size. They are ideal for concealing applications such as powder foundation. Or the color in the BB / CC Cream by the gloss or reflection of the pearl powder is low. Look natural
Size "B" The powder particles are approximately 70 microns in size, ideal for use in shimmer applications.
Usage: For makeup products, it acts as a pigment. With built-in luster
Mixing method: Mixed in all kinds of makeup products
Rate of use: 1-100% depending on the desired color and shine (Recommend Lipstick 1-10%, Eye Shadow 15-30%, Mineral Makeup 1-5%, BB / CC Cream 1-3%)
Product characteristics: Lightweight, small particle powder, easy to spread in formulation.
Solubility: Can be dispersed in silicones and oils

“Closest ingredient-family evidence: cosmetic powder suspensions, including common mineral powders used in makeup, can change friction and perceived skin feel after application, supporting mica’s sensory/slip benefit in powder cosmetics.”
“Closest ingredient-family evidence: powder cosmetics applied to artificial skin showed measurable friction-dynamic differences, supporting the role of mineral powders such as mica in smoothness, spreadability, and tactile finish.”
“Closest mica-family evidence: TiO2-containing pearlescent pigments are mica platelets coated with titanium dioxide and/or iron oxides, supporting their use as optical effect pigments for luster, color travel, and visual correction in cosmetics.”
“Closest coated-pigment evidence: formulations containing titanium dioxide and iron oxides attenuated visible blue light, relevant only if this violet mica is coated/combined with such oxides; plain mica alone should not be claimed as a proven photoprotective active.”
