Not like the original

This colorant is not the same as the first time I bought it, it is far more brick red. I don't recommend unless you're going for a brick red colorant.

This color has been reformulated in the past so if you have an older version you might have been using more than what you will need to use with this newer one. Our suggested rate is 1.5-2 tsp per pound of oils but you may not even need that much! If you are finding the color to be too 'brick red' you might want to try using much less, maybe start with .5 tsp and bulid up until you get just the red you want!

True red

This is a great deep red. It worked great for my watermelon soap. It is a little messy though.

Beautiful red color in my CP soap! Will be repurchasing when I run out.

I’ve heard so many great things about this red mica! I love that i was able to buy a sample size bag.

This is one of the best reds I have ever used! Love it!

No other red compares! My absolute favorite!

Great color

Use & Testing Notes
CP Soap Stable	Yes
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	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. Using Trial by Fire at 1 tsp. per pound will make a very rich rose color that is quite beautiful as well! 1.5 - 2 tsp. per pound of oils is the perfect use rate in our testing. Trial by Fire is a mica-based pigment. It 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.
