What It Does

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is prized for its optical clarity and silky skin feel. Compared to natural mica, it offers superior purity, controlled particle structure, and enhanced light reflection. It creates a soft-focus blurring effect while improving slip, brightness, and pigment dispersion.

Key Benefits

• Exceptional brightness and transparency
• Soft-focus blurring and silky sensory feel
• Highly consistent, lab-purified mineral
• Superior alternative to natural mica
• Ideal for shimmer, pearl, and glow effects

Usage Guidelines

• 1–10% for subtle glow and diffusion
• 10–40% for luminous powders and foundations
• 40–90% as a base filler in pressed and loose pigments
