Description
This mica will not show in cold process. It is best used in melt and pour or dusting the tops of soaps to give a special shine. It is cosmetic grade and safe for lips and eyes. It would be perfect in lip gloss or eye shadow!
If using in bath bombs, add polysorbate 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. This mica can look shimmery in water when enough is used! It can also be dusted on top of bath bombs for a great glitter effect.

Titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause cancer. Exposure to titanium dioxide may increase the risk of cancer. Once incorporated into a liquid or solid base it is no longer airborne and falls off the Prop 65 list. More Info.
