In the Formula

It is an effect material. It does not add pigment so much as bend light, which is what reads on skin as pearl, glow or a soft-focus sheen.

The Evidence

It is a listed cosmetic ingredient with an established function in the EU CosIng inventory. We hold no finished product study on it and do not imply one. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Mica (CI 77019) does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
