Functional Performance & Benefits of Sericite AV

The Synergy of Sericite and Aloe Vera

Sericite AV is more than a standard filler—it’s a performance-enhanced composite. Natural sericite mica platelets are surface-treated with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, modifying the particle surface to shift the texture from dry and chalky to remarkably creamy and smooth.

This aloe infusion imparts lubricity and conditioning properties, significantly elevating the sensory experience while contributing to improved adhesion and wear in the final product.

Advanced Formulation Advantages

The fine 6–10 μm particle size balances coverage and translucency for a natural, soft-focus matte finish. In pressed powders, the aloe treatment improves binding and compressibility, yielding robust cakes with less fallout. In liquid or cream systems, Sericite AV enhances slip, contributes to texture, and supports uniform dispersion for a homogenous, elegant feel.

These combined attributes make Sericite AV a multifunctional ingredient that delivers both aesthetic refinement and functional performance across a wide range of applications.
