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.

Very nice versatile deep red color. Very nice for fall or even Christmas. Will keep on hand!
I used this for a Christmas scented soap (Frosted Cranberry) and it turned the perfect color - a muted red. This mica is very nice and fine and blends easily with the hand blender at trace.
i used Brick Dust Mica for my autumn leaves for cold process soap. It gives that perfect burgundy red, i am pleased with how it turns out in real.
The most gorgeous color for red fallen leaves for fall soaps.
