Mica: it’s the common ingredient in cosmetic products such as nail polish, foundation, mascara, and lipstick. It’s what gives them their luminosity, making them responsible for the fortune of major cosmetic groups like L’Oréal, Lancôme, Dior, and Chanel.
Unknown to its hundreds of millions of consumers is that most of it is filled with “dirty mica”, extracted using antiquated methods, close to slavery, in one of the poorest regions of the world: Jarkhand, India. Here, under the constant threat of landslides and toxic dust, children dig through the earth with their bare hands.
Journalist Brando Barenzelli has traced the mica supply chains from the lost mines of the Indian countryside to the laboratories of major brands in Europe. He films the 8-year-old children who collect mica and the mine owners and exporters who turn a blind eye to the deplorable working conditions. He also uncovers the strategies used at each stage of the supply chain to whitewash the origins of mica. Back in Paris and Europe, he confronts cosmetics manufacturers with the findings of his investigation.

One thing I dont understand is why in the documentaries they always mention that they earn 2.5 USD a day or so (300-400 rupees). If we consider that the price of 1kg of rice is 0.36 rupees they are earning an equivalent of roughly 600 USD a month. That would be a salary of many people in Europe as well, working 8hours a day. What I believe is that this world is full of injustice. I believe that the child labour is created directly by their parents as they consider them as an "extra income" where the value of a child is not considered the same as in western Europe.
