Use & Testing Notes | |
CP Soap Stable | It's Tricky |
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. |
Testing Notes | This is a tricky color to work with. We recommend this color for those who are more advanced soap makers. When not enough is used it can go gray. It can also have a greenish cast in very yellow or green oils. Use as white of a base as possible. Don't add titanium dioxide to make your base more white, as this will make any color used more pastel. The oils themselves must be as close to white as possible. The use rate is 2 tsp. per pound of oils. If you use less this color will be gray. This color performs best when fully gelled. When used correctly, this color produces a dark navy black/blue unlike any other, and it's absolutely gorgeous! |

I love this color blue in my College Game Day soaps (GA Tech and GA Southern). It is the perfect blue.
Just be sure to gel your soap for a perfect NAVY BLUE.
Can't wait to try this. Such a great, dark blue out of the bottle.
Love this blue! Perfect for my soap project.
I wanted so long to find a navy blue mica and I am glad I tried this one out, love the shade it gave and will definitely buy again .
Nurture Soap is the only place I use for micas because the quality and affordability is always the same. Dark Navy Blue is no different. It's a gorgeous deep blue with a little shimmer. It performed beautifully in my ocean themed cold process goat milk soap.
