We are aware of child labor in mines, where natural mica is produced. Unfortunately, these natural micas are readily available and widely available without the end user being aware of the distress they cause.
We want to prevent suffering and also offer a good product.
For this reason we offer synthetic mica. Synthetic mica (synthetic fluorphlogopite), is produced by laboratories and therefore NOT extracted from natural mines.
Our supplier also helps organizations such as "Made in a Free World", an organization that:
- Cooperates with mines, to get the children out of the mines and into schools.
- Does not sell pigments manufactured with Mica powder from mines in India or
South Africa.
