Functional Performance & Formulation Insights for Impact Matte Mica T

The Science of a Superior Cosmetic Texturizer

Impact Matte Mica T is not an effect pigment, but a high-performance functional filler. Its power lies in the fine, lamellar (plate-like) structure of its natural mica particles. This unique geometry allows the platelets to glide over each other and the skin, imparting a distinctive silky feel, exceptional slip, and improved blendability to any formula. Because it is uncoated, it provides a transparent, low-luster finish that mattifies without masking the skin or interfering with other colorants.

Technical Advantages in Formulation

As a versatile filler, Impact Matte Mica T enhances formula stability and aesthetics. In pressed powders, it improves compressibility and reduces the risk of cracking, leading to a more robust final product. In liquid and cream systems, it helps to control viscosity and provides a creamy texture without adding weight or opacity. Its inert nature makes it compatible with a vast array of cosmetic ingredients.
