MochaMama Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi all,I have some glitter from Aromahaven and want to make a 2 oz glitter stick. I have no idea of how much glitter to add, not even a ballpark estimate. Does anyone have any idea of approx. how much glitter (not mica) to add to have the glitter transfer to the skin? Bascially I want to add the glitter to a lotion bar recipe.Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've not used the cosmetic grade glitters in anything yet but, from my understanding a little goes a long way and it's all scratchy to the skin. HTH's a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochaMama Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks ladysj - I'll just do the ol' trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Let me know how it comes out...I've been wanting to try this too but wasn't sure if the glitter would stay suspended throughout the bar. I've used cosmetic grade glitter in lotions and gels and usually only about 1/4 tsp per 2oz (if I remember correctly, which isn't likely!) and it seemed very sparkly to me but my teenaged daughter kept saying MORE!

ah-soy Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Here is a link to a recipe on MMS...http://www.thesage.com/recipes/recipes.php3?.State=Display&id=171The recipe is for about 36 oz of body butter and only calls for 1tsp of the ultrafine glitter!
