Pearl Powder 1 kg

Bulk Pearl Powder Built for Consistent Production Runs

Pearl Powder in a 1 kg package is designed for manufacturers who need a steady, predictable supply of mica-based pearlescent pigment without color drift between batches. This oxide-coated mica pigment produces a deep, shimmering luster with a smooth color shift depending on the viewing angle, making it valuable well beyond cosmetics. It belongs to the Metallic Mica Powder category, which gathers dry pearlescent pigments used across a wide range of industries.

Globally, the strongest demand for pigments like this comes from producers of automotive coatings, epoxy resin flooring and countertops, plastics, printing inks, and decorative construction compounds, alongside decorative cosmetics manufacturers. Pearl powder is blended into epoxy resins to create depth and shimmer effects, mixed into automotive paints for metallic and color-shift finishes, incorporated into thermoplastics during molding of decorative parts, and added to plasters and self-leveling floors for a refined sheen. In color cosmetics, the same pigment goes into eyeshadows, highlighters, lipsticks, and nail lacquers, while candle making and soap crafting use it only occasionally as one decorative accent among many.

For industrial use, uniform dispersion is essential. In liquid systems such as lacquers, epoxy resins, and emulsions, the powder is added during final mixing at temperatures not exceeding 40-50 degrees Celsius to protect the mica platelet structure and preserve shine. In melted waxes or polymers, the pigment should be introduced once the mass has cooled to a workable range, typically 60-70 degrees, with constant stirring to avoid clumping. Recommended dosage ranges from 1 to 10 percent of the base weight depending on the desired intensity: 1-3 percent gives a subtle glow in creams and lotions, while 5-10 percent delivers a bold metallic effect in lacquers and epoxy castings.

Pearl Powder blends easily with other pearlescent pigments to build custom color lines. It pairs well with warmer shades like Pearl Peach for soft pastel shimmer in cosmetic formulations, or with the richer Red R Pearlescent Pigment for deep dramatic tones in decorative coatings and molded plastics. For color-shift and gradient tinting effects, formulators often combine it with Metallic Powder Brown Phantom, which adds a warm bronze undertone when the light changes.

Store the pigment in a dry area at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, since humidity can cause particle clumping and reduce flow consistency during dosing on production lines. Under proper storage conditions, the pigment retains its shine and tone for an extended period, making the 1 kg package a practical choice for facilities running continuous production batches.

Shimmering Pearl Soy Candle Wax Blend

Soy wax flakes 900 g

Fragrance oil 45 ml

Pearl Powder 8 g

Mica-friendly wax additive 5 g

Melt the soy wax flakes slowly in a double boiler until fully liquid, keeping the temperature around 70 degrees Celsius. Remove from heat and stir in the fragrance oil along with the wax additive until fully blended. Sprinkle the pearl powder into the liquid wax gradually, stirring continuously for about two minutes to disperse the pigment evenly and avoid streaks. Pour the mixture into prepared candle containers at around 55 degrees and let the candles cure undisturbed at room temperature for at least 24 hours before trimming the wick and lighting.
