I'm thinking about adding colors and sparkles to my perfume oil. Can I use BB mica?

I don't know but if it is lip safe and safe for eye shadow, well wouldn't it be safe for perfume oil?

If it's cosmetic safe you can, but it will most likely sink to the bottom.

That's what I'm afraid of too, sinking to the bottom. Although I do wonder if it's normal for FO to also kind of separated from jojoba oil? It's not obvious because I use golden jojoba oil and most of FOs are kind of yellow in color also. Is there no way to color the perfume oil? I used oil soluble pigment but they seem to sink down to the bottom also. Why???

I tried one tiny drop of the Liquid Lake - Red 30 (oil base D&C) I got from wholesalesuppliesplus but has some sinking to the bottom still.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the difference between oil dispersible and oil soluble...
