Metallic Powder Bronze old, 1 kg

Sourcing Aged Bronze Mica Pigment for High-Volume Manufacturing

Metallic Powder Bronze old in a 1 kg pack is built for manufacturers who need consistent color reproduction batch after batch and a working supply large enough to run continuous production lines. This aged bronze mica pigment belongs to the Metallic Mica Powder range and finds its widest real-world demand well beyond cosmetics: it is heavily used in resin casting for jewelry and decor pieces, in polymer clay work, in candle making, in decorative paints and coatings, in craft and hobby applications, in automotive custom paint jobs, and in packaging print for metallic finishing effects. Its deep coppery bronze tone with a warm golden undertone convincingly mimics aged patinated metal, making it a favorite for vintage-style furniture accents, statement jewelry, and cast decor objects.

Within cosmetic formulation this pigment is used in eyeshadows, bronzers, highlighters, lipsticks, and nail lacquers, as well as decorative flecks in cream-based products. It withstands heat up to roughly 80-90 degrees Celsius, so it can be added directly into melted wax or oil phases during production, while in cold-process formulas it simply gets stirred in until fully dispersed with no clumping. Typical usage rates range from 0.5 to 5 percent of the total batch weight depending on the desired intensity of shimmer, though large-scale manufacturers usually run a small test batch first to lock in the exact ratio before committing to full production volumes.

This bronze shade layers well with other dry mica pigments for gradient or multi-tone effects, pairing nicely with cooler tones such as Pearl pigment White Blue for contrasting metallic transitions, or with deeper reds like Metallic Powder Burgundy for a rich vintage palette. For a softer sheen in lighter formulations, a small amount of Metallic Powder Pearl can be blended in to tone down the bronze intensity.

Since the pigment is not water soluble, it should be pre-dispersed in a small amount of oil or glycerin before being introduced into water-based systems to prevent settling and streaking. In resin work, the powder is mixed directly into the resin before the hardener is added, stirring thoroughly until no clumps remain. Store the pigment in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area away from direct sunlight and moisture, which keeps the color performance stable across the full shelf life even when handling bulk industrial quantities.

Working with a 1 kg pack lets producers lock a formula once and reproduce it reliably across large production runs, which matters most when launching cosmetic lines, candle collections, or resin decor products meant for wide retail distribution.

Bronze shimmer hand and body wash base

Liquid soap base 500 ml

Carrier oil 15 ml

Metallic Powder Bronze old 5 g

Fragrance oil 8 ml

Warm the liquid base gently to around 40 degrees Celsius, then whisk in the carrier oil until fully blended before slowly sprinkling in the bronze pigment, stirring continuously to avoid streaks or clumps forming at the bottom of the container. Once the shimmer is evenly suspended, add the fragrance oil, mix again, and let the finished base rest for a few hours before bottling so any trapped air bubbles can settle out.
