Serecite Mica Powder
Serecite Mica Powder
Micas are perfect for soap-making and cosmetic-making projects requiring sparkle and shimmer. They are commonly used in melt-and-pour soap, cold-process soap, and hot-process soap designs. They are generally stable at high pHs, do not fade with UV exposure, and do not migrate. They can also be used in other cosmetics such as bath salts, lotions, scrubs, bath fizzes, and lip balms. Insoluble, but miscible in liquids (sinks to bottom in thin liquids).

If using in bath bombs, add polysorbate 80 at half your oils. For example, if your oil = 3 teaspoons, use polysorbate at 1.5 teaspoons. This will help prevent a color ring around the tub.
Product color may slightly vary due to lighting or your screen settings.
