Mica powder is used as a colorant for cosmetics, soap, candles and many other craft items. These mica’s are high quality cosmetic grade so can be used on the skin.
Our lip-safe mica’s are a wonderful way to add color, shine, and sparkle to your soaps, shampoos, lip balms, lipsticks, lotions, creams, and mineral make up.
Mineral Mica Powder pigment is great for DIY soap and cosmetic making. Just add to your base mix and blend or stir until the color you like is achieved. These all have a shimmer finish in clear soap base and will be opaque or pastel in white bases. Sample all of these and/or test batch before buying in bigger quantities.
Colours can be combined to make new shades. Sprinking a second colour without stirring in soap gives interesting effects.
Mica’s are non-toxic occurring naturally from the minerals muscovite and silicate. Mica if smaller than 20 microns, gives a satiny appearance while large micas provide a sparkly effect. Mica’s are then coated with various oxides, carmine and titanium dioxide to give a full range of colours. Pure Mica has a natural base which has been ground to a very fine, smoothly rounded particle which has been coated first with titanium dioxide, then tin oxide and an additional layer of pigment. This layer combination of pearl pigments with a colored pigment results in a significantly more brilliant colour effect than a simple mixture of the components. It is this choice of base, coating technique and quality which gives Pure Mica its excellent feel, adhesion and appearance.
Colours may not appear exactly as seen on photo in real life due to variations between computer monitors what the eye sees in real life.
