About this color

Don't panic if it leans pink!

Cantaloupe is a warm, sunny coral that dances between soft orange and playful pink, named for the fruit it channels so well.

In cold process soap, the shade you land on depends on your usage rate and whether the batch gels: about two teaspoons per pound of oils gives a vibrant tone, while a lighter hand around one and a half teaspoons in a gelled batch leans more toward a delicate pink. Either way, it holds its color well through the cure.

Either way, it's ripe for the picking.

Use Rate

CP Soap: 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
MP Soap: ½ teaspoon per pound of soap base.

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

Use Notes

Cantaloupe can be a little tricky. It's heat sensitive and can be soft pink or more orange depending on the amount of heat in your soap. Our recommendation is to try this mica at different temps, gelled and ungelled and see how you like it. At higher temps it will be more orange. At lower temps it will be more pink. This color is so unique and pretty and so, so worth it!
