Mearlmica FF – A Reliable Alternative to Talc

Mearlmica FF – Reliable Talc Alternative Clean beauty perception is increasingly raising consumer awareness of sustainability, content transparency and sourcing. Mearlmica®, one of the latest performance minerals from our supplier Sun Chemical, is a small particle-size, versatile mica sourced 100% ethically and sustainably from Hartwell, GA, USA. Optically neutral, Mearlmica® FF provides a neutral base with a soft, creamy texture in cosmetics and personal care applications.       Product Use and Source Information: • Globally approved safe cosmetic ingredient for use in all applications, • Natural mica obtained 100% ethically and sustainably from Hartwell, GA, USA, • 100% Natural Origin, 100% Natural Index*. Product Performance: • Soft, creamy textured performance mineral, • Oil absorption comparable to talc and sericite, • Optically neutral, • Natural mica with small particle size for a smooth, matte-like appearance. Mearlmica® FF can be considered as an alternative to talc and sericite products thanks to all these properties. Key Tips When Formulating: Thanks to its small particle size, Mearlmica® FF creates a neutral background for various surfaces: • For matte finishes, Mearlmica® FF can be used together with components such as kaolin or silica to develop low-gloss appearance and smooth texture. • For shimmer or sparkle finishes, Mearlmica® FF can be used with bismuth-based performance minerals such as Bi-Lite® 20 in addition to any of our effect pigment products in our portfolio.         Mearlmica® FF Creates a Bright Background in Powder Group Products: • With simple touches to formulations, thanks to Mearlmica® FF, you can create talc-free formulas while preserving vibrant tones. • Due to its low refractive index, Mearlmica® FF is optically neutral when entering anhydrous or emulsion-based formulations. Mearlmica® FF Can Also Be Used to Create Formulations Such as Loose Powder: • In pressed powder formulations, the compressibility of Mearlmica® FF can be increased by combining it with high-density performance minerals as in other flat materials. ◊ Bismuth oxychloride-based products such as BiLite® 20 or Pearl-Glo® M can provide the desired texture and sedimentation stability. ◊ In addition to our portfolio of performance minerals, other compression aids such as kaolin or metal soaps can be used to improve stability.
