Question

How can I add a fine golden shimmer/sparkle to my lotion for face and body? Which Mica product should I use to achieve a subtle, glowing effect?

Answer

Adding Golden Shimmer to Your Lotion

To add a fine golden shimmer to your homemade lotion for face and body, you should choose a Mica product with a particle size of A or B, as recommended for a subtle effect.

Based on the available options, here are some suitable choices:

  • Light Gold Pearl Mica (Size A, 30 Micron): Provides a very fine, subtle pearl shimmer with a light gold tone.
  • Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 60 Micron): Offers a fine glitter effect in a standard gold color.
  • Bronze Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 60 Micron): Gives a fine glitter with a bronze-gold hue.
  • Gold Glitter Mica (Size B, 80 Micron): A Size B option with a gold glitter effect, slightly larger particles than the 60 Micron size.

The best Mica for you will depend on the specific shade of gold and the intensity of shimmer you desire. Size A provides the most delicate shimmer, while Size B offers a slightly more pronounced fine glitter.
