I picked up the TKB polyamide because of you -- I'm can't wait to start formulating with it! I had been searching for oil thickeners for a while but couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Because of this, I never offered (in my store) the oil blends I want. So excited to learn about this. Many many thanks to you 🙂

I hope you enjoy it! Depending on the oils you enjoy formulating with you might want to look at the one sold by Making Cosmetics as well-I have details on how it is different in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) entry for PA-3 ❤️ Happy making!

A million thank yous for posting this! I was looking for an effective way to suspend mica in my shimmer/body oils and I was considering one of the tweens, but that didn't make sense, so then I saw info about e-wax in some degree to thicken, but this by far is the best approach. Thanks again!

In your blog post on the formula, you mention if you use less shimmer to increase the amount of apricot kernel oil. I find though, with doing this, the mica then sinks to the bottom instead of staying in suspension, like the original recipe. If I cut the shimmer amount in the recipe in half and want to increase the fragrance, would I also increase the c12-alkyl Benzoate and the polyamide 3? Thank you so much in advance. Your formulas are beyond amazing! ❤❤

I tried to make this using polyamide-3 from TKB and as the heated phase begins to cool down, small micro beads of wax begin to reform and a thick gooey layer appears on the bottom-I have pictures! I adjusted the amount of polyamide-3 to about 7.5%, given the notes you wrote in the partner blog post and tried this 2 times and both times had this result. I had not put the mica in, only the c12-15, polyamide-3, and the oil.

Hi Marie, Olivia from Barbados here. I purchased the polyamide-3 from tkb trading, i followed the steps carefully (substituting c12-15 alkyl benzoate for isopropyl myristate) and while in the cool down phase, I've kept stirring and stirring continuously, yet the polyamide-3 keeps clumping and turning gritty. I have tried 6 times with the same result. 😢Please help.

For the first question, I would use a darker colored mica powder that complements your skin’s undertone. Lupita has warm undertones, so a dark warm bronze would look nice. I’m not sure about the second question.

I have been trying to make body shimmer oils and it clumps once it cools down. I was using coconut oil and found out it was the main reason my oils started to crystalize later. So I took the coconut oil out and used cetyl alcohol and it clumps less but still clumps. If I want my bottle to be fairly see through what else can I use to keep the mica from settling?
