• Use rate in cold & hot process soaps: 1.5-2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
• Use rate in melt & pour soaps: .5 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. ~
It is very important to start with a white base. Soaping oils that are yellow or green will affect any color. Do not add Titanium Dioxide to whiten the base, as this will make the red more pastel.
Do not use more than 2 teaspoons per pound! You don't need to. This color is a rich red at 1.5 - 2 tsp. per pound of oils (a great use rate for red). More will make a more brick colored red than using it at the recommended use rate.
Revolutionary Red will need to be blended into your soap well for best results. You may portion off a tablespoon (or so) of your soap making oils and disperse the color before adding it to your soap.
When used at 2 tsp. per pound of oils in CP soap, this red would transfer to a washcloth but once rinsed, come right off the cloth. You may want to test a small amount for staining if you are concerned that this color may stain washcloths.

I love the color it creates!
Beautiful, rich color.
Nice and bright matte red. perfect for Xmas red.
This is the most natural mineral red color pigment that I've found. There's no pink or blue tones to it at all. It gives me ochre vibes, even though there's no brownish yellow tones in it. On the skin, it looks completely natural, like an intense red blush or sunburn. I can't wait to actually use it in my projects. I'm super excited. It's going to be beautiful.
