Mica

Mica is a shiny silicate mineral with a perfect basal cleavage that allows you to break it into thin sheets fairly easily. Mica has many unique and useful qualities which make it a valuable material in electronics, ceramics, coatings, and personal care applications.

Additional Notes:
* When you walk down a beauty aisle, all that glitters is not gold, but is more likely to be mica! Mica and titanium dioxide are popular color enhancing &/ brightening ingredients in personal care beauty products such as eye shadow, blush, foundation and more.
