Method

Substitutions
- You can use other neutral carrier oil, good choices would be - Camelli Oil - Jojoba Oil - Sweet Almond Oil - Apricot Kernel
- Shea butter helps to suspend the mica so it doesn't immediately drop to the bottom, though it will still most likely need to be shaken before use. You can remove the shea butter entirely and just shake more often.
- We have chosen to use satin mica, which gives a more overall colour coverage, but you can use a sparkle mica to make it more sparkly!
- Sericite mica helps to bulk out the product and give a more subtle overall shine, though you can remove it and replace with more coloured mica.
