Iridescent pigment for candles, soaps, and hand-made creations
Cosmetic Mica Aurora is a shimmering pigment that reflects light in rainbow-like tones, similar to aurora borealis. Its layered particle structure produces multidimensional highlights in shades of blue, green, and pink, making it ideal for soap making, candle design, and hand-made decorative gifts.
Appearance and features
Aurora mica comes as a fine powder with a silky texture. Depending on dosage, it offers either a subtle shimmer or an intense, color-shifting effect. Heat- and light-resistant, it maintains brilliance and stability in finished products.
