SERICITE
Sericite is a fine-grained mineral within the mica family, known for its silky, smooth texture and soft sheen, making it popular in cosmetic powders, foundations, and eyeshadows. It gives products a natural, radiant glow, offering better adhesion to the skin and helping minimize fine lines.
Historically, sericite has been used in skincare and beauty routines for centuries in East Asia, where its name derives from the Latin sericus, meaning “silky,” referencing its soft feel and luster.
Benefit of Surface Treatment
1. Hydrophobicity & Water Resistance
Our advanced Surface Treatment technology makes the powder highly hydrophobic. It repels water and sweat, preventing makeup from breaking down or darkening over time. This is essential for long-lasting and waterproof formulations.
2. Superior Skin Adhesion
Surface treatment significantly improves the adhesion of the powder to the skin. It ensures that the makeup stays in place all day without flaking or caking, providing a smooth and flawless finish.
3. Improved Dispersibility & Stability
Surface-treated powders disperse more easily in oil binders, reducing processing time and ensuring a uniform texture. They also enhance the overall stability of the final product, preventing phase separation
