Do you know of an ingredient I can use instead of mica? I can get the colors from iron oxide. Thanks!

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and am interested in making my own mineral make up. We do not have information available like you guys in the US or UK have for home DIY’s. I know PV soap have a couple of very basic recipes as well as TKTrading, sweetscents and DIYcosmetics. The problem that I have with these are: 1) Recipes very vague 2) List raw material like Talc and Bismuth ect as fillers 3) With compressed lines, recipes are a spay of a certain liquid as binder. They do not say what is in the liquid.(Is it an oil or water or a special chemical compound??) I need to know exactly as I must source this locally. I am looking for more precisely formulated recipes in grams or ounces other than is published on a couple of internet sites like PV soap. A couple of recipes are very vague meaning they list a cup of this or a pinch of that .I am hoping that some-one might share their formulae with me which has been fine tuned. I know there must be a wealth of information “out there” from ladies who are currently making their own make up. I do understand that they have spend a lot of time and money into their formulations and will be very reluctant just to “give it away” especially if they use it in a business to manufacture commercially. Seeing that I live in South Africa, I wont be in direct competition with them and I am hoping to get some recipes. It is not financially feasible for me to buy starter kits and source raw materials from US suppliers. Another problem with these suppliers is that they sell the ingredients under their own brand name so in SA the same product will have a different name especially when it comes to the colored Micas and Iron oxides. All the ingredients are available in SA from the big chemical and mining companies. I just have to find out from them who do they supply to, that will sell in smaller quantities for home use. I can only source raws if I have exact ingredient list. Some of the home made recipes incl Talc and Bismuth Ox chloride as fillers and the more professional website reviews mention not to use these raws in your recipes. The commercial lines list a lot more ingredients than just your basic ingredients, which are found on the free recipes on the net. Hopefully you will be able to assist me or point me to some one who might be able to help. Kind Regards Debra Debrab@telkomsa.net Hi RoxyJ
