Color Information
Ingredients	Mica, titanium dioxide, manganese violet
Micron Size	10-60 μm
Color Type	Mica
Use & Testing Notes
CP Soap Stable	It's Tricky
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.

We suggest testing this in your recipe in making CP soap to see how it works for you. This color is stunning in melt and pour soap!

Turned gray in CP soap

I am disappointed because this mica turned gray in my CP batter and soap.

We do put a warning about this on the product page so that people are aware of this prior to purchase! You'll see under soap use notes it says: 'As with most dark purples, this color can be a bit tricky in cold process soaps. At times you may get a rich amethyst color, and other times it may turn smoky gray. We suggest testing this in your recipe in making CP soap to see how it works for you'.

Dark and beautiful

I pair this with the Blackberry Bliss for my husband's favorite soap. Says it reminds him of a sweet wine.

Dark purple—very dark plum

It’s a dark gray purple
