Our mica powders are cosmetic grade mineral pigments with a fantastic shimmer and metallic-like finish. They are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and ethically sourced, and come in over 100 shades — from soft pastels and pearly whites to deep metallics and colour-shifting interference micas.
Mica powders add instant appeal and value to handmade products. Popular uses include:
*Not all colours are suitable for lip products – check each product page for its ingredients and suitability.
For a shimmering effect in wax, we recommend using around 5% mica powder to wax. You can combine mica with our candle dyes to create a richer colour. Mica is a pigment rather than a dye, so it sits in the wax rather than dissolving – always test a small batch first to get the look you want.
Making bath bombs or other water-based products? Standard micas are not water soluble – try our AquaPearls water dispersible micas instead. For a plastic-free glitter effect, see our EcoSparks eco glitter.
