Golden Buddha Gold Mica
Golden Buddha Gold Mica
The famed Golden Buddha was discovered in 1957 when a group of monks were relocating their Monastery in Thailand. They noticed a large crack in what they thought was a clay Buddha.
"Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve used this in my cold process soap (beautiful creamy golden color) and in my bath bombs ... I want a gallon of this lol."
—Yvonne G. (verified)
Further inspection of this crack revealed that the Buddha was in fact made of solid gold. Historians believe that it had been covered in clay hundreds of years prior to protect it from an attack by the Burmese army.
It is most definitely a treasure, and we are so excited to bring you this magnificent gold. It’s just exquisite; reminiscent of the gold jewelry found in Thailand. Whatever medium you choose: soap, resin, make up, etc., Golden Buddha mica will not disappoint.

"OK FOR" Usage Key Explanation
Overview: Our "OK FOR" key is a quick and easy reference point for customers to learn about the color additives used to manufacture each colorant we sell, in the context of which are FDA-permitted for use in cosmetics, and for what uses. It also provides guidance for usage in media that the FDA do not regulate, like soap, crafts, and epoxy resin.
Cosmetic Use: In the case of cosmetic use, we list products in the "OK FOR" key according to the FDA-permitted usage status of each product's individual ingredient. We get this information directly from the FDA website by referring to their "Color Additives Permitted for Use in Cosmetics" table. Ingredients that are in a product that are not listed in that table have no bearing on the information in the key.
If a particular usage is FDA-permitted for ALL color additives in a product, we indicate so with a graphic representing that usage (lips, eyes, etc).
If any individual ingredient in a product is listed as not FDA-permitted for a particular use, we indicate so by having an "X" appear over the graphic representing that usage. Rolling over the graphic will provide some additional detail.
Other Uses: For uses that are not regulated by the FDA we indicate what we, in our internal testing, have had success with. We also continually review feedback from customers to make these suggestions.
Important Note: We are only providing information about FDA-regulated color additives according to the table on the FDA website. We are not making any representations whatsoever regarding actual usage, local or federal laws and/or regulations beyond providing the most current FDA-posted information we have seen. It is up to the end user to review rules and documentation for each product in order to make their own decisions as to best practices.
Customer Reviews
Golden Buddha is, indeed, gold! It is so sparkly, and had a deep, rich warm ton. It is ideal for mixing with a bit of light oil and swirling on the top of my CP soap to give the soap a final, elegant touch. (And it is fabulous in resin, too!)
The Golden Buddha is a very pretty gold, and SUPER bright and shimmery. I love it :)
I use this color on my sunflowers which is one of my most popular products so I need to keep this stocked. Thanks for all your amazing colors!
I mixed this alone with Sparkle me gold, I used more of sparkle me gd, Golden buddha will definitely give you that gold if you use more. Check out my shimmery perfume oil @iruhz aura on ig.
I didnt know if I was going to like this one as much as I love king Tut but omgoodness!!! This gold is overall different and gorgeous. It's a bit muted from KT so its perfect for a beautiful gold with not as much zing bling!
