Mica · CI 77019 · Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
A mineral that gives shimmer and helps colour spread evenly.
- What it does
- Colour & shimmer
- Our take
- Chemically unproblematic. The real issue with mica is sourcing, child labour in Indian and Madagascan mines is well documented, so what matters is where a brand gets it. Synthetic fluorphlogopite is lab-grown mica: it sidesteps the sourcing question entirely and, despite the name, contains no carbon-fluorine bonds and is not a PFAS.
