Micas
This product is what gives your lipstick and eyeshadow its glimmer. You can use this in your lip balms. It works best in clear M&P soap as the light reflects off the particles to create the sheen. (The flat sides of mica are painted - some different colours on each side).  Will colour CP soap as well. We used about 1/4 tsp in 1 lb of soap and it coloured it really well. Use the liquid D&C colours with a bit of the mica to create a beautiful effect.
