Hi flowergurl4eva,
I just looked this up on the website you listed. Maybe some else can tell you more. There is a Forum at that website maybe they could tell you. I'm sure not very good things are written about Lye and Micas, even EO's & FO's can cause breathing problems. Since I have developed breathing problems, I am much more careful and aware than I use to be. I personally would not use this because it's primary use seems to be to paint metals.
This is just IMPO.This is what I found:It is a safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment with a neutral pH. It is extremely color fast and stable—it will not tarnish or fade and is therefore ideal for archival applications.

respiratory tract. May cause pulmonary fibrosis and permanent damage when ingested in
