Mica Powder - White

Mica in your homemade creations

Using mica powder in candles is technically possible, but not recommended. Adding mica to the surface can create a shimmering effect, but its incorporation into the wax should be avoided.

Natural mica, of mineral origin, mixes poorly with wax, and can alter combustion and clog the wick. If you try the experiment, do not exceed 2-3 g of mica per 100 g of wax. Mixing mica with molded wax can result in an uneven deposit at the bottom of the mold.

The mica will saturate the wax (like the dye), it will be advisable to use a larger size for the candle wick, it is advisable to stay on pastel colors in candle.

For the fondants

In your scented melts, you can dose from 0.5 to 1 g per 100 grams.
