Teach Soap

Hi,
I have mainly used micas. I have a light pink mica. I've noticed that no matter how much mica I add, my base color gets to a point, but then it will not turn any darker pink even if I add more mica. If the color of the mica is light pink, adding more doesn't seem to give me a darker pink than the way it looks in the jar, especially in a white base.

Is this just the way micas work?

Also I just received my order from BB and I bought some of Soaplove's liquid colors. Do I just use drops and drop it right in the base until I get the degree of color I want?

Any suggestions?

Micas will only give a lighter color with a white base. You can achieve a darker color if you use clear.

Yes you just add the Jewel tones drop by drop. They were made to look like jewel tones in clear soap base, they will still work in white but will be more of a flat color.

More info and a mixing guide are here;

Thank you, Brammble Momma,
This is great!
