So, after an almost year hiatus from making wax based products, I decided to dabble a bit more. I ordered some wax specific colorant from candle science, but in the meantime, I decided to play with my mica collection (only in melts, I know enough to not use mica in candles).
Now, what I noticed was the mica basically pooling to the bottom of the melted wax when it was remelted. I have used some wax melts from someone else before that use mica and they don't seem to do this...although I may be remembering wrong.
I'm wondering, is it because I'm using soy wax? I still want to put mica in along with my wax colorant, but at a lower percentage. I've seen some lovely videos of wax melting with mica swirling around, and I want that aesthetic! Anyone have any ideas?
