Color Type | Mica |
Use & Testing Notes | |
CP Soap Stable | Yes |
CP Soap Use Rate | 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils - More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. |
MP Soap Use Rate | .5 teaspoon per pound of soap base - More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. |
Bath Bomb Use | If using in bath bombs, add polysorbate 80 at half your oils. For example, if your oil = 3 teaspoons, use polysorbate at 1.5 teaspoons. This will help prevent a color ring around the tub. |
Testing Notes | Black Pearl is our preferred black mica for clear melt and pour. Due to it's silver sheen, it can make MP really pop! For a darker, truer black in cold process soaps try Activated Charcoal or Nocturnal Mica. |

Good quality
This didn’t get as dark as I thought but is still a nice color. Probably will try using more next time. I’ve never been disappointed in any of their micas.
This fades to gray in a white base but it has many uses!
I tend to use black oxide for my CPS but I love to paint with this black mica on my bath bombs!
It is a good black color that you can use to mix with other colors!
Nice, shimmery black, but not too black.
