mica dry pigments

Mica powders are pigments that create unique effects of luster and depth. Made form mica, a natural ore, they are coated with a fine coat of pigment. The interaction between transparency, refraction and the multiple coats of paint can create various color effects found only in nature such as pearly, iridescent, gold and metallic luster effects. They are also extremely lightfast and will not tarnish the way traditional bronze powders do. These pigments are also found in cosmetics and personal care products.
