Sericite powder is a high-quality raw material for various cosmetics in the beauty and cosmetics industry, characterized by a delicate and strong smooth texture, stable chemical properties, strong adhesion, good dispersibility, uniform mixing with water and glycerin, silky luster, and excellent features such as UV resistance. Its fine texture, elasticity, appropriate luster, high whiteness, and minimal or no heavy metal elements such as lead and mercury make it suitable for meeting the special requirements of some high-end beauty and cosmetic products.

Powder compact tests show that ultrafine sericite powder is soft, smooth, and elastic, providing a velvety smooth feeling to the skin after application. The fine scale structure of sericite has a reflective function against ultraviolet rays, and when added to sunscreens, it can help prevent skin darkening.

Researchers have significantly improved the whiteness of sericite powder by coating its surface with TiO2. This method replaces titanium dioxide as a premium filler in cosmetics, reducing production costs and enhancing market competitiveness.
