The Miyoshi group has identified 2 sources of sericite, which is a natural mineral cosmetic powder that aids in the spreading of cosmetics. The INCI for sericite is “Mica”, however, has distinct differences, including a more lubricious moist texture, slightly less shine, and whiter in color. Both grades of sericite, the Sericite CS-15 and Sericite S-150 offer a pure mineral with low heavy metals, crystalline silica, and very high purity.
Sericite S-150 is more lubricious in texture, and is designed for luxury type formulations, and has an average particle size of 10 microns.
Sericite CS-15 is a little more economical, and is designed for mass product formulations, and has an average particle size of 15 microns
Both are available with various surface treatments.
