Adds an additional layer of beautiful shimmer without going overboard
An absolute favorite in our soap-making.
A shimmering treasure! When used in body oil, it creates a luxurious, golden sheen that's both subtle and elegant. The shimmer is just perfect – not too overwhelming, but enough to give a radiant glow to the skin. The mica itself is of excellent quality, mixing well without clumping. This golden mica adds a touch of glamour to any product, and I'm thoroughly impressed with how it enhances the appearance with its refined sparkle. Perfect for anyone who loves a bit of glitz in their products.
This is the gold mica every soaper needs in his or her stash.
Love this color for painting bath bombs!
This gold is so creamy. Not flecks of gold when blended in CP soap. Perfect caramel color.
