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 product in my Anti-Valentines line this year, and it was well received. It is a really brilliant and gorgeous dark shiny red. Pictured, the brick dust on top and the fire cracker beneath it. Definitely recommend it for a darker, more rich red.
I have not used it in soap, only combined with other colors for lip products, but I can tell you this is so insanely sparkly/shimmer it is just gorgeous! Not quite as red as I was hoping, more on the copper side, but it's gorgeous and I can tell I will be using this color a lot! When blended with orchid purple and pink vibrance it made a wonderful rosey color and the sparkle from this color really shined through!
I really love this color and had to get it again.
This is a deep red burgundy color. I did use a slight bit more than recommended in my CP soap but in my Melt and pour it made a lovely red for my christmas embeds.
I received this as a sample. It's the color I didn't know I wanted! I used it to create a deep red similar to a dark red rose. It's amazing how they always know exactly what samples are perfect for you!
