White Mica Powder - 1 oz Cosmetic Grade for DIY Cosmetics & Soap

Yes, Pearl Basics White Mica is cosmetic grade, non-toxic, and made from Mica and Titanium Dioxide, making it suitable for formulations like lipsticks and eye shadows. We always recommend a patch test for individual sensitivity. Please avoid inhaling the dust during use.

Due to its buildable consistency, we recommend starting with a small amount, such as 1/8 teaspoon per 4 oz batch, and adding more to reach your desired shimmer. A general guideline is 0.5-2% of your total formulation's weight. For best results, test your color in a small sample first.

This is a powder pigment that disperses but does not dissolve. To prevent clumping, first mix it into a binding agent or oil, like jojoba oil for makeup or your lotion's base oils. For products like soaps or balms, you can mix it directly into the melted base.

The ingredients, Mica and Titanium Dioxide, are mineral-based and typically considered vegan. Pearl Basics does not test on animals. For the most current and detailed policy, we recommend checking the brand's official information.

Yes, this mica is stable and suitable for melt-and-pour soap. Mica powders are generally non-bleeding. For even distribution and to prevent speckles, we recommend dispersing the powder in a small amount of rubbing alcohol or oil before mixing it into your soap base.

This is a pure white pearl shade designed to add shimmer, lighten other colors, or create a standalone highlight. Colored micas provide specific hues, while this versatile powder is perfect for mixing or using alone for a bright, pearlescent effect.

One ounce is approximately 68 teaspoons by volume, so a little goes a long way. For personal DIY projects like lip balms or eyeshadows, where you use small amounts per batch, this container can last for dozens of creations, making it very cost-effective.
