Performance & Formulation Insights for Sericite AH8325

The Functional Role of Sericite Mica

Sericite AH8325 is a specialized grade of natural mica engineered for function rather than sparkle. Its platy morphology and fine 8–10 µm particle size orient flat on the skin, scattering light to create a soft-focus, matte finish that visually blurs fine lines and pores—without synthetic blurring agents.

Enhancing Sensory Profiles and Performance

The smooth, lamellar platelets impart exceptional slip and lubricity for effortless application and blendability. In pressed powders, Sericite AH8325 improves compressibility and cake strength, helping prevent cracking. In liquid and emulsion systems, it contributes to viscosity control, reduces greasiness, and helps limit settling for a stable, silky finish.
