Suspending Glitter/Mica in Oil and Silicone Gel

Oil and Silicone Gelling Agents for Suspending Gold Glitter Mica

To create a gel texture in an oil and silicone base that can suspend Gold Glitter Mica and prevent it from settling, you can consider using Oil Gellants or Oil Thickening agents that are compatible with both oils and silicones.

Suitable products with properties that help disperse and suspend pigments include:

• Oil Thick™ Hard: A hard oil gelling agent that works well in oil and silicone bases. It has the property of helping to disperse pigments or other powders in oil/silicone formulas, preventing them from settling. It is suitable for formulas requiring high stability.
• Oil Thick™ Soft: Similar to Oil Thick™ Hard but provides a softer texture. It can also be used to create a gel texture in oil and silicone and helps suspend pigments.
• Oil-Fix™ W: A silica designed to increase stability in W/O or W/Silicone formulas. It also has good properties for dispersing and capturing pigments in oil and silicone bases, preventing color separation or settling.

These gelling agents will increase viscosity and create a structure within the oil and silicone base, allowing the mica powder to disperse better within the gel and reducing settling.
