I am beginning work on soaps for July, & I am having trouble coming up with a red I am pleased with in clear mp. I'm thrilled with the blue, but need help with a true red. Any suggestions?

Try a blue red mica. It's the only one that doesn't bleed in MP soap.

The crimson red mica from bramble berry and red lab color together would probably do the trick too!

My favorite true red is BB's non-bleeding liquid red colorant. I haven't tried the blue red mica yet. Very interested!

You can see BB's red colorant in my Bath Blaster and Squeakymelon Soapsicles at www.soapylove.com

I mix my own red by using non-bleeding red oxide (7 parts) and non-bleeding ultramarine blue (1 part). This is the result:

Actually virtually any red in soap on my site is using this 7:1 ratio.
