Why we use synthetic mica over naturally mined mica

Alright, let’s talk about why synthetic mica is our choice for soap making every time! 🧼✨
**Eco-Friendly Production** 🌿
First off, synthetic mica wins major points for being eco-friendly. 🌍 Natural mica mining can cause a lot of environmental damage, but with synthetic mica, we can keep things green and sustainable. Its made in a controlled environment which means it does not contribute to habitat destruction and soil erosion. 🌱

**Consistency in Quality** 🎨
Ever struggled with getting that perfect colour every time? Synthetic mica’s got your back! 🙌 Unlike natural mica, it’s super consistent, so you can create soap art that always looks top-notch. Natural mica has inconsistencies such as partical size and colour meaning we cant always guarantee what we are using is exactly the same as what we used last time. 🖌️🎨
**Purity and Safety** ☑️
When it comes to safety, synthetic mica takes the gold medal. 🏆 It goes through strict tests to make sure it’s pure and free from any contaminants such as heavy metals which are often found in natural mica. These are meticulously controlled in synthetic variants, keeping your soaps safe and trustworthy. This purity not only upholds product quality but also reinforces consumer trust in the safety of the soap.👍
