Brown Mica Powder - 2 oz Cosmetic Grade Pigment for Makeup & Soap | Red Basics

Yes, absolutely. This is a cosmetic grade pigment made only from Mica and Iron Oxide, and it is free from harsh additives and non-toxic. As a general precaution when using any powder, we recommend avoiding inhaling the dust during use.

Two ounces by weight is a concentrated amount of pigment, roughly filling a small spice jar. A little goes a very long way, so this jar provides many applications. For scale, it's slightly more than the volume of two standard tablespoons.

You can mix this powder into a variety of bases such as clear lip gloss, eyeshadow binder, lotion, soap base, or oils. It is stable in all applications, making it very versatile. We always recommend doing a small test batch first to perfect your shade and consistency.

This pigment is a satiny, sparkly brown with shimmer. "Red Basics" is our brand name and not necessarily a direct color descriptor for this shade. For the truest representation, we suggest checking customer-submitted photos to see the color in different lights.

Yes, creating custom shades by blending is a primary use case for this powder. For best results, mix your powders together on a clean, dry surface before incorporating them into your chosen base. Start with small amounts to test your color ratios before making a full batch.

The ingredients, Mica and Iron Oxide, are mineral-based and not derived from animals. We do not have specific brand certification details regarding animal testing available at this time, so we recommend reaching out to the manufacturer directly for their official policy.

To ensure your powder lasts, store it in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed. This prevents moisture and contamination. When stored properly, mineral pigments like this have an exceptionally long shelf life.

The powder comes in a secure screw-top jar, and we employ standard packing procedures to prevent movement and leaks during transit. While the container is robust, we always recommend handling it with care upon arrival.
