Jane Iredale lists mica in their ingredient lists. Not synthetic mica — just mica.

Hi there-
First, THANK YOU for this list – it has totally changed the brands I consider ethical to purchase from. A few brands I’m wondering about: Cay Skin and Exa? I didn’t see them in the brand directory.

Thanks,
Emily

Thank you for your work! Can you ask Madara and (Nui from Germany) if they use ethical Mica? Greetz from Germany

Absolutely love this list, it‘s shocking that hardly anybody knows about the horrifying story behind mica. Have you looked into saie? On their website q&a, they state their mica is ethically sourced.

In reply to ZH.

Great timing! I just verified Kulfi’s cruelty-free and vegan status this week so they’re now included in our brand directory.

If you ever want to read more about any of the above brand’s ethical mica mining policy, you can click on the brand name from this post and it’ll redirect you to their listing page. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the article and you should find “Ethical Mica Mining Policy” where you can read the responses I received from each brand.

Hi I just did some of my own research and Kulfi a new clean brand at Sephora US and Canada have informed me that they use ethical mica. Could you please update the list to include them? And I’m curious how did you determine if Chantecaille, Charlotte Tilbury, and Makeup Revolution use ethical mica? Thank you

In reply to Rene. Depends how it's mined, the mining process can be worse for the environment overall.
