General Information

  • Product Name: Cosmetic-Grade Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
  • CAS: 12003-38-2
  • Catalog: CI-IFP-006
  • Applications: Face makeup, eye makeup, cheek makeup, lip products, lotions and creams, other powder products.

Synthetic fluorphlogopite (KMg3(AlSi3O10)F2) is a meticulously engineered layered silicate mineral. Unlike natural mica, which contains varying levels of impurities, our synthetic version is produced under controlled conditions, resulting in a product of exceptional purity, consistent quality, and superior performance. Its unique chemical structure, where fluoride ions (F-) replace hydroxide ions (OH-), imparts remarkable thermal stability, electrical insulation, and most importantly for cosmetics, a brilliant white color and exquisite luster. This allows for the creation of truly luminous and flawless cosmetic products.

Our Product Range

To meet the diverse requirements of modern cosmetic formulations, we offer four distinct types of treated cosmetic-grade synthetic fluorphlogopite:

  • Type I (Untreated Fluorophlogopite): The foundational material, offering its intrinsic purity, high whiteness, and natural luster.
  • Type II (Triethoxycaprylylsilane Treated Fluorophlogopite): This surface treatment enhances hydrophobicity, making the powder more resistant to water and oils. It is ideal for long-wearing foundations, sunscreens, and powder products where improved spreadability and reduced agglomeration are desired.
  • Type III (Dimethicone Treated Fluorophlogopite): Dimethicone treatment imparts a luxurious, silky-smooth feel and improves adhesion to the skin. It's perfect for pressed powders, blushes, and eyeshadows, providing a non-greasy finish and extended wear.
  • Type IV (Lauroyllysine Treated Fluorophlogopite): Treated with a natural amino acid derivative, this type offers a remarkably soft, creamy skin feel and excellent skin affinity. It is highly beneficial for foundations, lipsticks, and creams, enhancing blendability and wear comfort.

Key Characteristics and Benefits

Our cosmetic-grade synthetic fluorphlogopite boasts a set of distinct characteristics that make it an ideal choice for high-quality cosmetic formulations:

  • High Purity and Brightness: With whiteness exceeding 90% (and in some cases above 95%), synthetic fluorphlogopite delivers a clean, radiant appearance that enhances the visual effect of formulations.
  • Excellent Luster and Transparency: Thanks to its well-defined platelet structure and low impurity content, it imparts a soft, elegant shimmer and superior light reflection.
  • Silky Skin Feel: Its finely milled, uniform particles offer excellent spreadability and a luxurious, velvety touch, improving the sensory profile of any product.
  • Low Heavy Metal Content: Engineered in controlled environments, it contains extremely low levels of lead, arsenic, and mercury, ensuring compliance with stringent cosmetic safety standards.
  • Enhanced Stability: Unlike natural mica, synthetic fluorphlogopite exhibits superior stability under harsh conditions, including high temperatures and varying pH levels, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your cosmetic formulations.

Applications Across Cosmetic Categories

Our cosmetic-grade synthetic fluorphlogopite is a versatile ingredient, enhancing the performance and aesthetic appeal across a broad spectrum of cosmetic products:

  • Face Makeup (Foundation, Two-Way Cake, Loose Powder): It improves slip, luminosity, and coverage, contributing to a smooth, natural-looking finish and comfortable wear.
  • Eye Makeup (Eye Shadow): It provides a delicate texture, vibrant color payoff, and excellent adherence for long-lasting, smudge-resistant eye looks.
  • Cheek Makeup (Blush): It enhances the glow and blendability of blush, creating a natural flush with a refined radiance.
  • Lip Products (Lipstick): It improves spreadability and glidability, contributing to a smoother application and enhanced sensory experience.
  • Lotions and Creams: It can be incorporated to improve texture, reduce tackiness, and provide a subtle, soft-focus effect.
