Use & Testing Notes

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.
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.
Testing Notes	Many people have success with using Firecracker as red in their soaps. To achieve a great red color, use at at least 2 teaspoons per pound of oils in cold process soap. Red is the trickiest color in the spectrum for CP, and can have a tendency to fade more than any other color! We've found this color performs its best when using at lower temps. Higher temperatures may make it more pink. It's one of the most versatile colors we carry! The red is brilliantly beautiful in clear MP!

Nice red

I used a little over the recommended amount and was At first disappointed because
The swirl looked pink, but by the next day it morphed into red—a slightly pink red, but defi red.
