Other names: Synthetic fluorophlogopite, synthetic mica
Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Synthetic fluorophlogopite, also known as synthetic mica, is an industrially produced substance that is widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is a minimally harmful material with excellent properties for cosmetic and personal care applications, including varying degrees of fineness that allow for a wide range of textures and effects. Synthetic fluorophlogopite is a safer alternative to natural mica, which can contain contaminating elements such as lead and arsenic.
Synthetic mica is used in the cosmetics industry in products such as powders, foundation, eye shadows, lipsticks, nail polish, as well as in skin and body care products such as moisturizers, face masks, sunscreens and more. In addition to the cosmetics industry, synthetic fluorophlogopite is also used in industrial painting and coating systems, where it imparts a desirable pearlescent effect to products. It also has very specific applications in the manufacture of television screens and in the automotive industry.
Compared to natural mica, synthetic mica has a number of advantages. Its production is environmentally friendly and, in addition, it allows for a cleaner and higher quality product with precisely defined properties. It is because of these properties that it is so popular among cosmetics manufacturers.
