Super Gold Mica 100 g

A warm metallic mica pigment built for resin, wax and pigment-based production runs

Super Gold Mica is a natural mica-based pigment with a rich warm golden shimmer that today finds its strongest demand outside of niche crafting alone. The biggest global markets for pigments like this are epoxy resin art, candle making, decorative cosmetics, polymer clay and nail design, where the layered mica particles reflect light at different angles and create that sense of depth and movement. Everything from this shade family lives in the Mica Powders section, and a 100 gram jar puts this pigment squarely in small-batch studio territory rather than single test swatches — enough for a run of resin coasters, a candle collection or a limited cosmetic batch.

In resin art, Super Gold is typically stirred into clear or translucent epoxy during the mixing stage at a rate of roughly 0.5 to 3 grams per 100 grams of finished resin, with lower amounts producing a subtle shimmer and higher amounts giving a dense liquid-gold look. In decorative cosmetics the same pigment goes into highlighters, eyeshadows, bronzers and shimmering body products, blended into the oil or wax phase at temperatures not exceeding roughly 70-75 degrees Celsius to keep the mica flakes intact. It layers well with other mica tones and glitters, and pairing it with a cooler shade such as Ocean Green Mica 5 g creates a striking warm-cool contrast in resin pours or multi-tone makeup looks.

Candle makers stir the pigment into melted wax at around 60-65 degrees Celsius, mixing thoroughly so particles distribute evenly instead of settling at the bottom of the mold, and it's also dusted onto the surface of finished candles for a metallic accent. In polymer clay work, the mica is kneaded directly into the raw clay before baking, or brushed onto the surface to create a foiled effect after curing. Decorative concrete and plaster pieces are another growing use case, where the pigment is mixed into the wet material to produce a marbled or shimmering cut surface once cured. Household chemical products and, to a lesser extent, soap making also use pigments like this purely for visual appeal, though that remains just one of many possible applications rather than the main one.

Because mica is insoluble in water, it always needs to be carried into a project through an oil, wax or resin base, and pre-dispersing the powder in a small amount of carrier oil before adding it to the main batch helps avoid clumping and streaks. Store the pigment in a sealed, dry container away from direct sunlight and moisture, since prolonged exposure can dull the shimmer over time. Super Gold blends smoothly with most other cosmetic ingredients, and combining a touch of it with Mica Magenta 3 g gives a warm rose-gold tone that works well in blush or highlighter formulas, while Aboriginal Amber Mica 3 g deepens the amber notes for autumn-inspired makeup collections.

Melt the soy wax gently over a double boiler until fully liquid, then remove from heat and stir in the almond oil until combined. Let the mixture cool to around 55 degrees Celsius, whisk in the mica until the color is fully even, then add the fragrance oil and pour into a heatproof container. Allow the candle to set undisturbed at room temperature for several hours before use.
