Collection: Mica Powder
Mica powder is a vibrant, shimmery pigment made from naturally occurring silicate minerals or synthetic fluorophlogopite. Ground into an ultra-fine dust, these flakes are coated with colorants like iron oxides or titanium dioxide. It is widely used in DIY crafts, cosmetics, and resin art to add a rich, metallic, or pearlescent finish.
Common Applications and Uses
Because of its versatility and non-toxic, skin-safe nature, mica powder can be mixed into a variety of mediums:
- Cosmetics: Often used in mineral foundations, eyeshadows, and lip products to create a brilliant, reflective shimmer.
- Soap Making: A staple for both melt-and-pour and cold-process soaps. It offers bright, non-bleeding color that holds up well in soap bases.
