Green Mica Powder for Soap Making & Cosmetics - 1 oz by Soapberry

This mica is intended for external use in products like soap, bath bombs, lotions, and eyeshadow. It is not specifically labeled as lip-safe. For any cosmetic application, including eyeshadow, we recommend you ensure the safety of your final formulation and always perform a patch test.

A great starting point is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per pound of melt-and-pour soap base, as color intensity is easily adjustable. We always recommend beginning with a small amount and adding more to reach your desired shade. Your 1 oz jar contains approximately 68 teaspoons, offering plenty for many projects.

Yes, this pigment is explicitly formulated to be CP soap safe and stable in all applications. The specific blend of pigments, including Titanium Dioxide and Tin Oxide, is chosen to resist morphing or bleeding in high-pH environments like cold process soap.

You can expect a beautiful green mica that may present subtle shifts toward a soft, earthy sage depending on the lighting, your base product, and the concentration used. For the most accurate representation, we suggest reviewing customer photos to see the color in real-world applications.

Based on the ingredient list (Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, and synthetic pigments), the composition is typically considered vegan and mineral-based. For official confirmation of cruelty-free or vegan certification, we recommend contacting Soapberry directly, as they can provide their specific brand stance.

For optimal longevity, store your mica in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture and clumping. When stored properly, pigment powders like this one have an extremely long shelf life, often lasting for many years without degradation.

We recommend wearing a basic dust mask when handling the dry powder and working in a well-ventilated area. To significantly minimize dust, you can first disperse a small amount into a liquid medium like oil or glycerin before incorporating it into your batch.

The product is sold by weight (1 oz), not by volume, and the powder will naturally settle during shipping. The jar size allows for easy scooping. To appreciate the value, remember that 1 oz provides approximately 68 teaspoons of pigment for your creations.
