Hi everyone. I'm new the boards and have a question... this has probably been discussed before and if so, please feel free to direct me with any links!

So I want to make my own pre-mixed soap dyes for M&P. I was thinking of mixing them with glycerin, but I tried that and they separated. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might work well and won't separate?

TIA

Kelly

What dyes do you have? Are they water or oil soluble?

I was planning on using micas and iron oxides... I guess that info would have been helpful. :)

As for the dyes I have on hand now, I use water based, oil based and even glycerin based (from various suppliers), and they all stay mixed. But when I tried to mix my own with the glycerin, it separated... I'm sure I must be doing something wrong.

Oxides dissolve better in oil. I mix micas with glycerin. Micas do settle, so you need to shake the bottle before use.

Any thoughts on why the "professional" brands stay mixed and mine won't (in glycerin)? I guess maybe the pros use lakes and dyes instead of mica.

Oh! Thank you... starting to make sense now!! It's not a big deal for me to shake my dyes before use, I just was curious why mine were different. Thanks so much for your help!!
