Characteristics of Cosmetic-Grade Wet-Process Synthetic Mica

Our cosmetic-grade wet-process synthetic mica stands out due to its superior characteristics, ensuring both performance and safety in your formulations:

  • Exceptional Purity and Safety: The wet-process method ensures a clean, high-purity product with minimal impurities, making it ideal for sensitive skin applications. Free from heavy metals and hazardous substances, it aligns with global cosmetic regulatory standards.
  • High Chemical and Thermal Stability: As a chemically inert mineral, synthetic mica resists oxidation, degradation, and discoloration, ensuring long-term stability and compatibility across various formulation systems.
  • Natural Luster and Pearlescent Effect: With its uniform lamellar structure, the powder provides a soft, luminous glow and a pearlescent finish, enhancing product aesthetics and consumer appeal.
  • Excellent Dispersibility and Wettability: Fine particle size and optimized surface properties allow for uniform dispersion in water, oils, glycerin, and emulsions. This improves formulation homogeneity and enhances ease of application.
  • UV Light Shielding: The plate-like structure contributes to partial UV and infrared light reflection, making it a valuable ingredient in sunscreen and anti-aging products.

Applications Across Cosmetic Categories

The versatile properties of cosmetic-grade wet-process synthetic mica make it an invaluable component across a wide spectrum of cosmetic products:

  • Liquid Foundations: Our synthetic mica provides a radiant finish and long-lasting coverage, while its superior dispersibility ensures a smooth, even application without clumping, improving overall product stability.
  • Eyeshadows and Blushes: The lamellar structure delivers delicate, true-to-color pigmentation and a natural glow. Its smooth texture ensures comfortable application, minimizing skin irritation.
  • Lipsticks and Nail Polishes: The excellent slip and luster of our mica contribute to a sophisticated finish, while its chemical stability ensures that your lipsticks and nail polishes maintain their integrity without discoloration or degradation over time.
  • Sunscreens and Primers: Our synthetic mica provides a natural radiance and effective barrier, enhancing the protective capabilities of these formulations. Its smooth feel also ensures a pleasant, non-irritating application.

Production and Classification Technology

Alfa Chemistry employs a continuous, high-precision wet-classification process that significantly improves upon traditional methods. By meticulously controlling parameters such as dispersant concentration, pH levels, and suspension solid content, we achieve precise control over the mica powder's particle size distribution.
