White Sericite 2272

Cosmetic White Sericite (2272) 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.
