In cold process soap, Copper Penny turns into the perfect true copper - it looks just like a shiny new penny! I love how warm and rich it is, and how it adds a beautiful metallic glow.

Order arrived on time and it was just what I ordered
perfect shade
Very elegant color
This mica is a staple for me - especially when I make a soap that naturally turns dark. Using a fine layer or drop swirl with this mica makes the soap much more interesting
It's a wonderful shade with the perfect amount of shimmer for my summer collection of shimmer body oils!
Not fond of the color myself
perfect color!
This color is great to offset a lot of other colors! a I will buy it again!
I'm not sure if it's the Mica's fault but I'm just not getting the color results I'm looking for, I may try liquid soap dye in the future

I used this for a pencil line in a test bar of soap to compare three purple micas I had on hand. The picture shows who the Copper Penny showed up as a pencil line dusting. I think the line turned out well. I think this would also work great to dust the top of the soap as an accent. I will definitely purchase this again.
This is such a versatile color, CPOP it and you get like a penny color or a terracotta, but brushing it into a soap and you get a copper/goldish tone. Beautiful.
The pumpkin in the picture is dry brushed, and the sample is CPOP soap.
I received this in a sample and thought I’d never use it. Until I did. Now I can’t get enough of it. It makes such a gorgeous bronze color.
OMG!!!!!! I love this mica sooooooo much. I talk awesome. I will never ever run out of this one as long as NS keeps making it. Please Nurture Soap, please make this mica forever. I mostly drizzle this over the top of soaps and it looks fabulous. I added a pic, it’s not the best but it’s all I have at the moment.
One of my go to colors for brown. It works so well in CP and MP soap. I love how it shimmers in MP soap and it even holds on to its shimmer in CP soap which I find a lot of colorants struggle to do. Used it in this honey soap for one of the browns and its so pretty 10/10
I find this a little pinkish sometimes when mixed into CP soap, but I love to use it for mica lines, to spray on top or brush it into soap dough. I use it with soap dough stencils or to add some dimension when I make pieces.
Beautiful beautiful color, played nice in color process soap. Very easy to work with I’m just in awe of the color it is absolutely beautiful.
I used this along with mocha and activated charcoal for my coffee soap. I plan on using it in other soaps as well.
Mixed this with Olive oil (1t mica/1T oil) to drizzle on top of this bar. Swirled with the tip of a nail for amazing shimmer.
I don't usually even like copper tones, but this has me totally changing my opinion.
I had a large custom order for a wedding and copper penny was absolutely perfect as one of accent colors!! Its absolutely gorgeous and i can't wait to use it for even more designs
I use this color for pie soap crusts and my gingerbread men. It's perfect.
This is my favorite to combine with a dark brown for our men’s soap. It’s the middle brown in this bar.
We used this color for the "caramel" on our recent caramel latte soap and it was exactly what I envisioned. Looked edible!
This color came out gorgeous in my Honeycomb Soap. I started with the small one and turned around and got the 8oz.
Rich color in every aspect. Rich tone, through careful eye inspection, its transparent the quality is up to par. This is the best mica powder I ordered yet so far. Would recommend.
