Ultra Silk (also known as Extender-W) creates a smooth silky effect offering superior coverage. Use in very small amounts (1/2 teaspoon to 1 1/2 tablespoons finished product), to add to the adhesion of your product along with giving it a beautiful silky feel.
The Silk Mica which not only imparts translucency to mineral makeup but also lustre. It reflects the light very well, reducing the appearance of pores and expression lines giving a more youthful appearance and its lustre will impart a glow to the skin giving that 'dewy' look to your mineral makeup. It makes a good translucent powder with low coverage and low absorbency but reasonably good adhesion.
This is lovely in all blush and eyeshadow formulas. Once you try it you will want to keep plenty in stock. It can also be used as a stand alone eyeshadow highlight colour.
Tip: Silk Mica can be added to Sericite Mica and ground together to produce a finishing powder that imparts a slightly 'dewy' effect to your finished makeup. Usage rates will depend on how 'dewy' you want your finished look to be. Start with 2 parts Sericite Mica to 1 part Silk Mica and if you don't achieve the look that you want with these amounts then just increase the Silk Mica until the desired lustre is achieved.
Popular amongst those who want to achieve the look of a certain brand of mineral cosmetics but want to keep the ingredients a little more natural and simple!

Micas are non-toxic occurring naturally from the minerals muscovite and silicate. Mica if smaller than 20 microns, gives a satiny appearance while large micas provide a sparkly effect. Micas are then coated with various oxides, carmine and titanium dioxide to give a full range of colours. Our micas are a wonderful way to add colour, shine, and sparkle to your soaps, shampoos, lotions, creams, and mineral makeup.
