Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A coarse igneous rock of quartz, feldspar and mica, ground for use as a mineral filler or mild scrub. Topically inert; the practical safety issues are inhalable silica and heavy-metal/ethical sourcing of the mica.

Skin benefits

  • Mineral-rich bulking and abrasive
  • Adds shimmer from mica content
  • Sustainable mined ingredient
  • Inert silicate matrix

Known concerns

  • Crystalline silica fraction is an inhalation hazard
  • Possible trace heavy-metal contamination depending on source
  • Mica content raises ethical-sourcing concerns
  • Particle-size control needed for cosmetic use
