Description

Cerulean Green mica powder in soap

Soap Test Results

Cerulean Green natural mica powder for soap is a moody midnight green full of drama.

We tested it in our cold process soap and it coped very well with the high pH, alkaline environment.

It is quite a strong mica pigment so you don’t have to use alot of it to get a good solid colour.

Use between 0.5g to 1g of Cerulean mica per 100g of cold process soap to achieve a deep, green shade.

Usage rates and instructions for mixing in cold process soap

Cold process soap use – 0.5g – 1g per/100g of soap batter OR 1-2 teaspoon per pound of oil OR 2.5g-5g mica per/450g of oil.

To ensure that your mica powder is thoroughly mixed in your cold process soap you can do the following –

1. Separate a little bit of your soap batter and mix your mica into this to create a mica “slurry.”

You can use a stick blender if it’s quite a large amount of soap or use a small paint mixer like a Badger mixer.

2. You can also add your mica to some oil. So select a liquid oil that you use in your recipe and stir your mica into this.

3. Then add your oil mica “slurry” to your main batch of soap and stick blend or use the paint mixer to incorporate the mica colour.

PLEASE NOTE: make sure to use a stick blender or paint mixer to fully disperse your mica into your soap batter.

If you do not do this you might end up with muddy colours because the mica is not properly dispersed into your soap.

Usage rates and instructions for mixing in melt and pour soap

Melt and pour soap use – ¼ to ½ teaspoon per/pound of soap OR 1.25g to 2.5g per/450g of soap

1. You can add your mica to a small amount of melted soap, mix thoroughly and add this to your main batch.

2. Add your mica to a teaspoon or tablespoon of glycerine or isopropyl alcohol, mix thoroughly and add this to your main batch of soap.
