Mica Powder
Are micas natural?
Most mica used in cosmetics and soap, begin with naturally mined mica that is ground to a fine powder. This mica powder is grey-white in color until it is then coated with pigments (iron oxides, ultramarines or dyes).
Therefore, colored micas are comprised of pigments on a mica substrate (underlying substance). Those pigments, however, are not natural. They are lab-created to avoid the unhealthy levels of lead, arsenic and mercury that mined pigments contain.
Thus, there are no colored micas that are 100% natural. If they contain a pigment (ultramarine, iron oxide or dye), they are not natural.
Special note: Some of our micas are made with synthetic mica substrate called Fluorphlogopite. Fluorphlogopite is brighter and smoother than natural mica, and makes a fantastic substrate for some applications.

Fragrance oils
Fragrance oils are synthetic. They’re made with a mix of aroma chemicals and natural ingredients like extracts, essential oils, and resins.
Just one fragrance oil can be made up of 40-80 materials, which means you get complex blends that can't always be replicated in nature. They also work well in all projects, including cold and hot process soap.
However, even though they may contain plant-based components, they are still considered synthetic and cannot be listed as natural on a label.

natural fragrance oils
They come from natural sources like cucumber, raspberry, and lavender - but how they're made is unique.
Plants are made up of multiple aromatic components. For instance, let's look at Bulgarian lavender. Some of its major components are linalyl acetate, linalool, b-caryophyllene, and terpinen-4-ol. All together, they give lavender its signature floral scent.
To make a natural fragrance oil, one of those would be isolated from the plant. These single aromatic chemicals are called isolates. They're ISO 9235, meaning they're designated as natural by the International Organization for Standardization.
Next, that isolate would be blended with others from a variety of different plants. Linalyl acetate from lavender, which has a floral and citrusy scent, could be blended with ethyl acetate from orange, which smells sweet and fruity. These can also be blended with essential oils.
This process has several advantages. Because natural fragrance oils are made up of multiple components from different plants, they smell complex and can be more interesting than a single essential oil. They're also more consistent because they're not as affected by batch variation.
However, natural fragrance oils do not work in hot or cold process soap. Some perform well, but in our tests all of the scents faded as they cured. We recommend them for everything else though, especially skincare like serums and masks. That's where they really shine.
