I recently have been getting ready for a craft show and
stored some soaps (wrapped in cling) in an airtight container
not in sunlight. I looked at them today and they have either
fadedor turned a greenish shade. The ones made with micas
seem worse than those with liquid colorants, any help here
will be greatly appreciated :)

Some micas do fade over time. How long ago did you make them?

What color did you use, how much and where did the colors come from?

I didn't use very much, they were light colors?

co, they were a gift. One I used mica the other
I used liquid.

Sorry to intrude, but do I have to worry about this with BB bases and colorants? I know direct sunlight is a no no, but what about indirect sunlight, like selling at a farmer's market?

Some micas do fade. Most of BB's micas I have tried so far have held up well, but I noticed that BB's Mauvey Gem mica fades from a strong, deep purple to a light pinkish-purple. But I do love micas, and I have many favorites that don't fade. Experiment with a small batch to see how a new mica does.

mslala, sunlight can fade your colors, so I would try to keep your soaps out of the sunlight as much as possible. If you're outdoors, stay under a tent or somehow create ample shade for your products. BB does make a UV inhibitor (http://www.brambleberry.com/Uv-Inhibitor-P3563.aspx) that is supposed to help protect against fading. I've never used it myself, but Anne-Marie posted a video on how to use it, if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-KjcS-L2Sg.

I've been using the mica powders from Coastal Scents for several years now (but only
recently in soaps) and the colors hold up well in resins and in full sunlight. I never
thought about the color fading in soap, but I'm new to this. Now I'll have to put a
few out in the sun and see what happens.
