Metallic Pigment Powder Gold 10 g

How a small jar of gold shimmer powder fits home projects and studio-scale batches

Metallic Pigment Powder Gold, 10 g belongs to the Metallic Mica Powder category, which brings together fine mica-based powders prized for their metallic glow. Worldwide, the strongest demand for gold mica pigments comes from decorative cosmetics manufacturers, resin art and jewelry makers, candle producers, and polymer clay hobbyists, which makes a compact 10 g pack a practical way to trial the shade before committing to a larger production run.

In eyeshadows, highlighters, nail lacquers and lip glosses the pigment is blended into the base gel or oil, typically at 0.5 to 3 percent of the total formula weight. For creams and balms it is stirred in once the mass has cooled below 65-70 degrees Celsius, preserving an even shimmer and preventing clumping. In epoxy resin and polymer clay work the dosage runs higher, from 2 to 10 percent, mixed at room temperature until the golden glow is fully uniform without streaks.

Candle making is another common outlet, where the powder is stirred into melted wax at roughly 60-70 degrees, while decorative soap makers sometimes use gold mica as one finishing option among several coloring techniques, without it being the main focus. The pigment blends cleanly with other tones from the line: for smooth gradients it pairs well with Metallic Powder Green, for warmer richer compositions it combines with Red R Pearlescent Pigment, and for a cooler metallic contrast it works alongside Metallic Powder White Silver.

Before adding the powder to any formula, it helps to pre-disperse it in a small amount of oil or glycerin so it does not clump once mixed into the main batch. Store the pigment in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and moisture, since the mica base is sensitive to humidity over time. The 10 g size is well suited for trial batches, formula development at home, and small creative projects where precise dosing matters more than bulk volume.

Golden Shimmer Resin Pendant

Clear epoxy resin base 30 ml

Hardener 15 ml

Metallic Pigment Powder Gold 1 g

Fine glitter flakes optional 0.5 g

Measure the resin and hardener separately, then combine and stir slowly for about three minutes avoiding excess air bubbles. Sprinkle the gold pigment into the mixed resin gradually, stirring until the color is fully even and no streaks remain, then fold in the optional glitter flakes for extra sparkle. Pour the mixture into a silicone pendant mold, pop any surface bubbles with a toothpick, and leave to cure undisturbed at room temperature for at least 24 hours before demolding and polishing the edges.
