This is an automatic translation

It is a friable mineral with a crystalline appearance which, by virtue of its luminous, reflective and brilliance properties, is widely used in cosmetics. It belongs to the family of complex silicates characterized by easy flaking into transparent flakes extracted from the earth in thin sheets; its name derives from the Latin "micare" (shine) or from the Latin "mica" (crumb).
