Intense Blue-Green Mica

Blue-green lustrous/sparkling mica.

This mica has a wide range of particle sizes and will produce both a lustrous and shimmering effect in clear soap.

In white/opaque soap this mica will produce a pastel effect.

This mica is made from fluorphlogopite, a superior synthetic form of mica that has the following benefits:

– biodegradable

– plastic-free

– not mined (no unethical labour issues)

– created under laboratory conditions

– no risk of heavy metal contamination (as with natural mica)

– high-temperature performance.

It is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications. For liquid applications, disperse in oil, water, glycerine or isopropyl alcohol.
