Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 I'm interested in knowing how to get mica to show up in the soap......any ideas as to how it might be added to cp soap....??? Hi, It won't show up in CP as it really needs light to reflect and CP is too opague. The best advice to give you is to sprinkle it around in the bottom of your mold and it will have sparkle on the outside.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 I haven't had much luck w/ micas. It takes A LOT to get even a faint color. Now, that's just my experience. Oxides on the other hand are awesome! I get awesome colors w/ those. HTH Has anybody here colored cp soap with mica? If so, could you tell me how you did it?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Peggy, I have swirled cp with micas several times but not colored the entire batch with it. You have to be sure that the micas are cp safe because they are not all. Shaye mica Has anybody here colored cp soap with mica? If so, could you tell me how you did it?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 -Thanks and Shaye. I was thinking of swirling. Shaye, did you just mix it in a little oil then into the soap? I will check to make sure they are safe. Thanks again Peggy -- In , " Shaye " <shaye@m...> wrote: > Peggy, I have swirled cp with micas several times but not colored the entire > batch with it.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Peggy, well actually you can just mix it right in the soap. If you have a small Stainless steel whisk that mixes in the color really good. You could mix it with oil then the soap, but I have not tried it that way. If you were to look in my file, the F & M soap was swriled with three different micas. I think I used a tsp-TBS into a cup of soap or so.. That part depends on how much swirl you want and how dark you want it. Shaye mica > > > Has anybody here colored cp soap with mica?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Shaye, I looked at your f & m soap and it`s beautiful! Did you mix each color into some soap separately and then swirl it into the batch?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I have a packet of gold mica and I was wondering how to use it in HP soap. Do it sprinkle it in the mold , swirl it through the soap before I pour into the molds, add to it to oil ...what....It looks like it could make such an elegant soap Wondering Ruth in Port Townsend WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Susie, I like the Micas from Alternasense (www.alternasense.com) because they've been tested so well in CP. Have also used Micas from Brambleberry (www.brambleberry.com) and Sweet Scents (www.sweetscents.com) with success.
