A deep wine-toned shimmer built for bulk manufacturing runs
Metallic Mica Powder Burgundy in the 1 kg package belongs to the Metallic Mica Powder category and is a fine mineral pigment made of layered particles that reflect light to produce a rich, shimmering wine-burgundy tone. This large format is designed for production lines, labs, and workshops handling substantial volumes of raw material across decorative cosmetics, automotive and industrial coatings, polymer clay, epoxy resin casting, candle making, printing and packaging, textile printing, and household chemical goods. The pigment holds up well under heat and resists both acidic and alkaline environments, allowing it to be introduced at various stages of manufacturing without losing its visual intensity.

Burgundy Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 1 kg is a cosmetic grade pearlescent pigment that works in lip gloss and nail projects.
In decorative cosmetics, formulators use this shade for eyeshadows, lipsticks, glosses, highlighters, nail polish, and body art products, dispersing the pigment into a fat or gel base at temperatures generally not exceeding 60-70 degrees. A typical dosage ranges from 2 to 10 percent of the total product weight, though higher concentrations can be tested for a more intense shimmer effect. It pairs well with titanium dioxide for lighter, softer tones and with other mineral pigments to build layered or gradient finishes. For smaller trial batches, the Metallic Burgundy Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 10 g pack is more practical, while manufacturers expanding their color range often combine this burgundy with Chameleon Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 100 g and Bright Red Mica Powder for Cosmetics, 100 g to develop distinctive custom shades.
For candle production, the pigment is stirred into melted wax at roughly 70-80 degrees and blended thoroughly for an even, glimmering surface finish once the candle sets. When working with epoxy resin or polymer materials, dosage is usually lower, around 1-3 percent, since the transparent matrix amplifies the shimmer visually.
The pigment should be stored in a dry area at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, which keeps the particles free-flowing and prevents clumping over extended storage periods. This bulk format suits companies that need dependable supply consistency and the ability to reproduce the exact same shade batch after batch without recalculating ratios.
