Coated Micas

Coloured Coated Micas are fine pigment-coated mica powders which are further coated to enable them to disperse in water rather than float on the surface which makes them particularly useful in bath bombs or where a mica might otherwise be introduced to bath water as it avoids the problem of the mica being attracted to the bath surface which can cause unpleasant discolouration.

Like conventional mica they can also be widely used in many cosmetic applications. They are almost all very alkali tolerant making them ideal for use in CP soaps as well as in mineral make up. They add bright colour and irridescence to many cosmetic products, although their large particle size means they are not suitable in liquid bases or melt and pour soaps as they sink-out of suspension.
