Nurture makes high-quality micas. I’m very pleased with this purchase..
Purples can tend to go dull in CP soap, but not this purple! It is a lovely, joyous purple that stays vibrant in the final soap. Beautiful!
I am always in awe of nurture soap micas. I use them for soap and bath bombs. They do not disappoint.
Great purple with a hint of blue
Nice, vibrant purple. Holds color well.
So many shades of purple. This is a good one to have in your stash.
Turns pastel purple but pretty!
I think this will be great to color my lavender soap

This purple really doesn’t disappoint! I have a few purples in my inventory as it’s a primary color in my most popular of products!
A little goes a long way. Love it.
Wooowwwww ! My usual Togo was purple vibrance and so I decided to try this out , it’s deeper in tones yet I loved it at the same time .
I used this, Orchid Purple with Green Vibrance for a Eucalyptus, Lavender, Mint in Melt & Pour...I am pleased with the results.
It performs well, very nice purple as can be seen in the photo, I used 1 teaspoon per pound of oil
I used this for a soap scented with Orchid & Pink Amber fragrance. I used 1 tsp for a pound of soap.
I make cold process soaps and I purchased this color along with several other colors to use in my soaps. In the soap pictured, I used the Orchid Purple Mica, Green Vibrance Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and Activated Charcoal. I colored 1/2 the batch with Orchid Purple. The remaining half batch was divided into 3 portions. One colored Green Vibrance with a tad bit of Activated Charcoal. One colored white with Titanium Dioxide. The last colored with Orchid Purple and a little more than a tad bit of Activated Charcoal to make it a darker purple. Love love love Nurture Soap Micas!!
This is my idea of the perfect purple! I used it to make a custom blend color but it is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to use it by itself! It's a purple that leans towards the pink side rather than the blue range of shades, definitely what I prefer, doesn't show up to be blue at all in photos so its perfect as purple in photos is very hard to capture!
This purple is beautiful I absolutely love it. I used it for my shower steamers and they came out beautifully! Definitely happy I got a 1 oz jar of this! If you are thinking about it, I say just get it. If you are on the fence get the 5gram bag, though I think you will wish you got more haha
I am pretty much in love with this purple! It is more of a blue purple, which is my favorite. I used it with silver mist in the soap below, and it was lovely! I think I used 1/2 a tsp for each color and it was perfect, more than enough to get great color in 1/3 of my soap batter.
I ordered other purples and I've used them, but I use this one the most by far.
My very first purchase from this company and what an advertisement to keep coming back. Every time I use this mica and post a picture of my product online, someone always asks me "what mica did I use and where do I buy it?" It is one of the most beautiful purples around and I use it often. In this photo, it is the dark purple used in the sky portion of the soap.
A perfect purple indeed! This is vibrant and does not morph or bleed in CP soap. I added a little TD to it to get the shade I wanted. Just love it!
I love all of the purples but especially this one,it does great in my Lavender cold process soap
