Mica powder

Mica powder is a natural mineral pigment used to color soaps and create a delicate, shimmering effect.
It is resistant to heat and alkalis, allowing it to retain its color and shine throughout the saponification process.

Mica is non-toxic and environmentally safe when used in cosmetic (“soap-safe”) grade, as it is biodegradable and skin-friendly¹ ².
Thanks to its smooth, non-sticky texture, it does not irritate the skin and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin³.
