Toxicological Safety, Antimicrobial Efficacy, and Sensory Evaluation of River Sand-Derived Mica From Bangladesh: A Comprehensive Assessment for Cosmetic Applications.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMica is widely applied in cosmetics, construction, automotive, electronics, defense, and medical industries, particularly important in cosmetics as an ingredient in foundations, eyeshadows, lipsticks, and nail polishes for its pearlescent and shimmering effects.
aimsTo evaluate the suitability of mica minerals from Bangladeshi river sands for cosmetic applications by investigating their chemical composition, heavy metal content, potential for skin irritation, and antimicrobial activity.
methodsThe chemical composition, crystallographic structure, and heavy metal content of mica samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were evaluated using USEPA models (ADD, HQ, HI, LADD, ILTCR). Sensory evaluation was performed by 10 trained panelists, while primary skin irritation was tested on albino rabbits. Antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal strains was assessed using agar well diffusion and broth microdilution assays.
resultsMuscovite contained high Al
conclusionsMuscovite, biotite, and phlogopite mica exhibit low heavy metal content, non-irritant and non-carcinogenic behavior, moderate antibacterial activity, and favorable sensory properties, highlighting their potential as safe, effective, and multifunctional ingredients for cosmetic applications.
