Sericite BC Cosmetic

Sericite is a natural material belonging to the mica group. It is generally found in metamorphic rock, and is produced by the alteration of sedimentary rock through temperature, pressure and pH changes. When processed, it exhibits a silky luster from thin platelet sheets.

Mica type minerals are widely used in makeup items, especially in eye shadows and face makeup, to give natural shine, brightness and transparency. This creates a more natural and healthy appearance on the skin. Coverage and color of makeup items have been improved by the use of sericites and micas. Examples are the development of some powder foundations and "Two Way Cakes" which can be applied to the skin either dry or with water. These products are popular on the Japanese market, reducing the use of compacts and traditional cakes.

These sericites do not loose brightness when they absorb moisture and retains a uniform surface when applied to the skin. Surface treated versions are also available through Mineral and Pigment Solutions, Inc.
