Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Builds Up: Some scientific records report that mica is persistent and can bioaccumulate in people and wildlife, meaning it does not break down quickly and can collect in the body over time (U.S. National Library of Medicine). Because of that persistence, repeated or long-term exposure could lead to buildup.

Environmental: Mica has been flagged as persistent and bioaccumulative in wildlife in authoritative databases, which means it can stay in the environment and accumulate in animals (U.S. National Library of Medicine). Note that another government review found no strong evidence of toxicity or bioaccumulation, but the presence of data showing persistence in wildlife supports an environmental concern (Environment Canada; U.S. National Library of Medicine).
