Candy Apple Red Mica

Description

Candy Apple Red Mica adds a burst of passionate color to soaps and body care products, igniting your creativity with its bold and striking red hue. Based on synthetic mica, also known as Fluorphlogopite, this color is brighter and more stable than naturally occurring mica powder.

Candy Apple Red can also be used as a red colorant in cold process soaps at a rate of 4 teaspoons per pound, making it one of the most versatile pigments we offer. It shines with a bold, true red hue in melt-and-pour soaps and epoxy resin.

Use Notes

This can make a fantastic bright red in CP soaps if used at 3-4 tsp. per pound in a white soap base. Green and yellow toned soap bases will throw off the color. We were very impressed with how red this mica could be at higher use rates in our testing. There was also no bleeding or migration!

Use Rate

CP Soap: 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
MP Soap: .5 teaspoon per pound of soap base.

More or less can be added to achieve your desired color.

CA Prop 65

⚠️ Warning: Titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause cancer. Exposure to titanium dioxide may increase the risk of cancer. Once incorporated into a liquid or solid base it is no longer airborne and falls off the Prop 65 list.

Perfect!

This is my go to red for Cold Process soaps. It really comes out that true red.

Great color

I used this for a Fourth of July soap. It was the perfect red.

True to color

First time trying this one and I am really happy with the result, it’s very true to color even after my soap has been cured.
Definitely will order more in the future.
