Mica
Mica is a group of natural minerals that are widely used in cosmetics, particularly in makeup products, to provide a subtle shimmer or glitter effect. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined from the earth, and it is composed of thin platelets that reflect light in different directions, giving it a lustrous and superfine shimmer. Mica is used in various forms of makeup products such as eyeshadows, blushes, and highlighters, to enhance the complexion and make it look more radiant. Mica can be found in different colors, including white, gold, silver, and black.
It is important to ensure that the mica used in cosmetics is ethically sourced. In recent years, there have been reports of unethical practices in the mica mining industry, including child labor and poor working conditions. Therefore, it is important for the companies to ensure that their mica is ethically sourced from mines that are compliant with labor laws, environmental regulations, and respect human rights. Many companies have started to adopt transparency and traceability in the mica supply chain to ensure that the mica used in their products is ethically sourced.
