Performance & Formulation Insights for Impact Satin Mica
The Functional Advantage of Natural Mica
Impact Satin Mica is a functional filler engineered to enhance cosmetic formulations beyond color and effect. Composed of 100% pure mica, its naturally lamellar (platelet-like) structure is the key to its performance. These micro-platelets glide over each other and the skin, imparting superior slip, a creamy feel, and excellent adhesion. This makes it an indispensable tool for improving the texture and wear-time of powder and liquid-based products.
Achieving the Perfect Satin Finish
The satin effect of this mica is a direct result of its controlled particle size (D50 of 8μm). This fine grade is large enough to reflect light for a subtle, healthy sheen but small enough to avoid any visible sparkle or glitter. The result is a sophisticated, soft-focus finish that minimizes the appearance of fine lines while providing a natural, non-chalky appearance, making it a superior alternative to talc.
