Mica

Silky skin, sheer finish, hypoallergenic

Mica is a transparent mineral which is mined from the earth in thin sheets. It can be opalescent and sparkling or completely matte, ranging in colour from grey to blue to green. It is often treated with iron oxides to yield brilliant colour effects. Due to the sheer, translucent and skin-hugging effect of the mica mineral, your natural skin tone shines through when you use our blush, facial powders or eye shadows.

Mica minerals are the main ingredient of mineral makeup and can be ground into a silky powder, for use as a base for powder shadows and any other high sheen pigmented makeup as well as foundations. The aesthetic effects and skin benefits of their pure and inorganic mineral content has made them the hottest properties in the cosmetic industry. Mineral makeup is itself a mineral product, being hypoallergenic, clean and non-comedogenic. Mica also helps calm the erythema and protect the skin from sun damage, preventing the occurrence of skin irritation. Please note some people can be sensitive to the microscopic platelets.
