Magic Beans Polychromatic Mica
Magic Beans Polychromatic Mica
This mica is magic... Rays of blue and green and red shimmer in the sunlight and radiate from this full-bodied and lustrous shade. What may appear brown at first glance is actually a cavalcade of colors. It's spectacular.
"The depth of this color is ahhhmazing! I love how this is two or three toned depending the angle and lighting. This color is amazing!"
—Trish H. (verified)
Trade this beautiful mica for a beanstalk climb to a magical land, but make sure you save some for yourself. As Jack himself would agree, magic beans... a wise choice indeed!

"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
It gave a subtle hint of green which is a great effect for trees and vines.
I love the color in my candles. Clients are so exited when the see the results. I recommended 200%
Brown has never been my jam until I found magic beans, what a beautiful green hue as well as red added to the Beautiful Brown this is my absolute favorite color I am a fluid artist and mixing pigments can be tricky it takes a while to dissolve but these pigments are hands down the easiest to work with I have ever come across and I have used many brands
I've used this in lip gloss so far and love it!
This is a beautiful chocolate color with deep, rich tones and wonderful depth. It looks great in my most recent batch of soap.
