Brown Mica Pigment Powder - 1 oz Cosmetic Grade for Soap Making

Yes, this is a cosmetic-grade, non-toxic pigment made from mica and iron oxide, making it suitable for formulations like lipsticks and eye shadows. We always recommend performing a patch test with your final DIY creation. Please note it is for external use only.

You receive 1 oz by weight, which is approximately 6-8 teaspoons by volume. Since you only need a pinch per batch to achieve vibrant color, this amount can create many containers of eyeshadow or lip color. It's designed to be a highly versatile and long-lasting supply for crafters.

This powder blends easily into anhydrous or oil-based bases like lotions, balms, body butters, cold-process soaps, and loose mineral powders. For liquid formulations like nail polish or certain foundations, you would need a specific cosmetic binder designed for that medium to ensure proper adhesion and suspension.

The ingredients are mica and iron oxide, which are mineral-based and contain no animal-derived products. For the most current information on Red Basics' cruelty-free certifications, please check the brand's official documentation on their website or packaging.

To use it as an eyeshadow, you need to apply it over a sticky base. We recommend using an eyelid primer, mixing the powder with a cosmetic binding agent like glycerin or a ready-made binder, or applying it over a cream eyeshadow base for best adhesion and longevity.

This "Brown Luxury" mica provides a satiny, radiant, and shimmery finish, not a chunky glitter. You can control the intensity by starting with a pinch for a subtle glow or layering the powder for a more bold and impactful shimmer effect.

Store your pigment in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed tightly to protect it from moisture. While pigments don't have a strict expiration date, they have a very long shelf life when stored properly; just avoid contamination to prevent clumping.

Absolutely! This pigment is ideal for mixing with other mica shades to create your own custom hues. For best results, start with small amounts, mix thoroughly into your chosen base, and experiment with different ratios to achieve your desired color.
