Our micas are premium grade. They are all soap safe and tested in CP. They do not morph, bleed, or change colors in high pH.

What are mica powders for soap? They are pigments based on a ground powder that makes them shimmery and easy to use. They do not bleed like other pigments such as oxides and ultramarines. They are also easier to incorporate into soap.

Most are natural, but the colors used to pigment them are lab created to be free of impurities. For this reason, these colorants are not considered natural. None of our micas for soap contain dyes. They are pigmented with colors such as ultramarine blue and titanium dioxide.

All Nurture soap micas are stable in cold process, hot process, and melt and pour soaps.

How to use in soap:

▼Mixing

Mix 1 part color with 1 part oil. Mix well then add to soap.

◄White oils

These colors perform best in oils that are as white as possible. Yellow and green oils may affect color results.

◄Use rate

Use rate is 1 teaspoon per pound of oils. With lighter colors like orange and yellow, a little bit more can be used to get a bright color. Darker colors like brown may need a bit less.

How to use in bath bombs:

▼Polysorbate 80

Use polysorbate 80 when using mica to color bath bombs. This will help disperse the color and prevent a powder ring around the tub.
