86% | 43g chia seed oil, certified organic
10% | 5g shea butter, certified organic
2% | 1g bronze, gold or silver satin mica (see below for examples using different micas.)
1.5% | 0.75g sericite mica
0.5% | 0.25g vitamin E


Method
  • Melt shea butter & oil in a double boiler or the microwave. 
  • Stir in remaining ingredients well. (A mini spatula helps smoosh the powders!)
  • Bottle, shake before use & get ready to glow!
Substitutions
  • You can use any kind of neutral carrier oil. Other good options would be: almond oil, apricot kernel oil, camellia oil and jojoba oil.
  • 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.
