Fine gray powder, no odor, pH: 8.6 (10% aqueous suspension). Insoluble, but miscible in water. CAS: 12001-26-2, 7631-86-9 INCI Name: Mica, silica Properties: Great filling agent for texture & consistency, provides extremely soft & velvet feel when applied to the skin, improves viscosity & thickness of emulsions, decreases drying time of liquid eyeliners, improves binding of powders. Use: For dry applications (powders) use at 10-25%, for liquid applications (e.g. liquid eyeliners, cream foundations, lotions) use at 5-10%. For external use only.
