How to Use Mica Powder in Resin

Mix your epoxy resin (Part A + Part B) thoroughly before adding pigment.
Add mica powder a little at a time and stir well to fully incorporate — start with approximately ½ teaspoon per 30ml of resin and adjust to your preferred intensity.
More powder = deeper, more opaque color; less powder = translucent shimmer effect.
Pour into your mold as normal and allow to cure.
Mica powders can be layered: pour a base color layer, let it gel, then add a contrasting mica layer for depth and dimension.
For UV resin, add powder to mixed resin and cure under your UV lamp as normal.
For candles and soap, add at the appropriate stage for your formula.
Store bags sealed and away from moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mica powder and alcohol ink in resin?
Mica powder gives a metallic, pearlescent, or shimmer finish and can be used to create opaque or semi-transparent color effects. Alcohol ink stays liquid in resin and creates fluid, marbled, transparent patterns. Mica powder can also be dusted onto mold surfaces before pouring for a mirror-like metallic effect on the outside of a cured piece.

Can I mix mica colors together?
Yes — mica powders blend freely to create custom shades. Mix dry powders together before adding to resin, or mix them separately in resin and swirl for multicolor effects.

Can I use mica powder on the outside of a cured resin piece?
Yes — dust mica powder onto the inside of a silicone mold before pouring for a metallic surface on the finished piece. You can also brush mica onto the surface of cured resin and seal with a clear coat.

Is mica powder safe for cosmetics?
Mica powder is widely used in cosmetics. However, always verify the specific product is cosmetic-grade and skin-safe before using on skin, lips, or eyes.

How much powder do I need per project?
For most resin jewelry, ½ to 1 teaspoon per 30–60ml of resin gives good color saturation. A 50g bag goes a long way for small jewelry pieces; 100g is ideal if you work in larger batches or use multiple colors frequently.
