Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
A lab-made mica used as a smooth, light-reflecting base for pigments and shimmer.
What it does
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is a manufactured form of mica with very uniform, pure platelets. It reflects light evenly to give shimmer or a soft-focus finish and serves as a smooth carrier for pigments, so it is used in color and highlighting products. It is an appearance-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
Also known as
