Our Natural White mica powder (have glitter and shimmer effect) is an organic and finely grinded stone from the mineral mica, that's a safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment that's highly colourfast and will not tarnish or fade.

The ultra fine mica powder particle size is 10 to 60 microns, may be mixed into many mediums such as paint, epoxy resin, glue or paste to create a pearlescent or metallic finish.
It's also ideal for soap making, bath bombs, slime, candles, cosmetics, makeup, exterior, art paints, watercolours, oils, acrylics, varnish, nail polish, DIY crafts and more!

How to Use for soap making:

Micas in Cold Process:

·         We recommend doing a small test batch to make sure the colour is stable in your particular recipe. Even if a mica does work in CP it often isn’t very sparkly, as there is no light for reflection (since cold process soap is opaque). To use it in cold process soap, start with 2 teaspoon of colorant per pound of soap and feel free to add more if you want a brighter colour. Simply add the mica directly to the soap and stir. Make sure you add it at very thin trace so that you have enough time to stir the colorant in.

Micas in Melt and Pour:

·         Most micas are super easy to use in melt and pour soap. Simply add the powder into your melted melt and pour soap base. If pesky little “mica bubbles” float to the top, spritz them with a bit of rubbing alcohol and you’ll see them burst open. Just stir everything in until the mica is well incorporated, then add your fragrance oil and pour the soap into the mould.

·         If you are using a clear, transparent or translucent melt and pour base, we recommend about 1/2 a teaspoon of mica per pound of soap to achieve a nice, strong pearl effect. You can use micas in opaque melt and pour base at 1.5% to 2% of the total weight to achieve a soft colour (pastel) but micas work best in clear soap. Light is needed for the true reflective qualities of the micas to work properly.
