In home fragrance products, mica enhances the visual appearance of candles and diffusers, while in cosmetics it adds radiance to eyeshadows, powders, and lip glosses. It is safe for use and does not affect the fragrance. Mica is mined from the earth and processed to create various shades and effects that add a sense of luxury and elegance.
