Black Oyster Black Mica
Couldn't load pickup availability
A black grey with great luster just like a black pearl. A lustrous and opalescent mica that adds the mysterious accent you might be looking for.
"Not your mom's charcoal - Sparkle, deep dark sparkle. I paired this with a ghost type swirl done in charcoal and the sparkle contrast is amazing."
—Kelly W. (verified)
If you are looking for deeper black, check out our Wicked black mica, or try some black iron oxide or activated hardwood charcoal (depending on your medium).

| Usage Rate CP Soap | 2 tsp per lb of oils |
| Usage Rate MP Soap | ½ tsp lb of MP base |
| Usage Rate MP Soap | ¼–½ tsp per pound of M&P base |
| Ingredients | Mica (CI 77019), titanium dioxide (CI 77891), iron oxide (CI 77499) |
- Usage rates can be varied to lighten or darken hue. Listed amounts create bright colors with no colored suds.
- White MP base will always create a pastel form of the color due to titanium dioxide in base.
- To use in bath bombs or other bath products (water applications), we recommend using polysorbate 80 at a rate of approximately 2% of your total batch weight (dry and wet ingredients). This should allow the color to disperse evenly and eliminate mica from floating on the water's surface or leaving a ring of color around the tub.
- Sample bags contain approximately one teaspoon.
- For mica-specific information not available on this page, please consult provided data sheets.
- Larger sizes are available. Please email colors@madmicas.com for pricing and information.
Customer Reviews
Love this black! I mix with a little black iron oxide and get a pretty shimmery black.
I love this Mica is so shine
This is a fabulous black. Shimmery and lively is the best way to describe it. I used it for a custom black and grey melt and pour soap. It turned out perfect! I would highly recommend this mica.
It’s a beautiful color. I haven’t found a mica on mad micas site I didn’t like
I use this black to paint bath bombs and it's great! No complaints from any customers on the color! Haven't used it in CP soap yet.
