Prop 65: Titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause cancer. Exposure to titanium dioxide may increase the risk of cancer. Once incorporated into a liquid or solid base it is no longer airborne and falls off the Prop 65 list.

Cantaloupe can be a little tricky. It's heat sensitive and can be soft pink or more orange depending on the amount of heat in your soap. Our recommendation is to try this mica at different temps, gelled and ungelled and see how you like it. At higher temps it will be more orange. At lower temps it will be more pink. This color is so unique and pretty and so, so worth it!

If using in bath bombs, add polysorbate 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.
