Brick Dust is one of the stars of the show in our True Red Trio. Adding this great mica to Queen of Hearts Mica and our Orange-Red Neon makes a stunning and beautiful true red in soaps!
Since this is a darker red, it can be used at 1 tsp. per pound of oils in cold process soap with great results! As a general rule, darker colors are great at 1 tsp. per pound and lighter colors can be used at 2 tsp. per pound of oils for the most vibrant results.
If using in bath bombs, add polysorbate 80 at half your oils. For example, if your oil = 3 teaspoons, use polysorbate at 1.5 teaspoons. This will help prevent a color ring around the tub.

I used this in a gothic themed soap and I loved how it accented the other colors. It is more red than orange in my recipe. I got a true red brick color.
My soaps are themed around legend and mythology, and I have found Brick Dust to be one of the best colors for red dragon scales, both in the soap and painted on after. I love the depth of this red, and the subtle burgundy.
this made a beautiful bar of soap! i love the red shade soaps and i’ll be ordering more of this one!
Such a beautiful rust red! Used at 1 tsp PPO
Not as flexible as I would have liked - it is a very specific hue that isn't quite right to pull in when you need a more maroon hue. I like it, I just can't design around it as easily as I would prefer.
