Description
- Use rate in cold & hot process soaps: 2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
- Use rate in melt & pour soaps: .5 teaspoons per pound of base.
~ More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. ~
It is very important to start with a white base. Soaping oils that are yellow or green will affect any color. Do not add Titanium Dioxide to whiten the base, as this will make the red more pastel.
Do not use more than 2 teaspoons per pound! You don't need to. This color is a rich red at 1.5 - 2 tsp. per pound of oils (a great use rate for red). More will make a more brick colored red than using it at the recommended use rate. Using Trial by Fire at 1 tsp. per pound will make a very rich rose color that is quite beautiful as well! 1.5 - 2 tsp. per pound of oils is the perfect use rate in our testing.
Trial by Fire is a mica-based pigment. It will need to be blended into your soap well for best results. You may portion off a tablespoon (or so) of your soap making oils and disperse the color before adding it to your soap.
When used at 2 tsp. per pound of oils in CP soap, this red would transfer to a washcloth but once rinsed, come right off the cloth. You may want to test a small amount for staining if you are concerned that this color may stain washcloths.

A very solid true red. This pic is day four of making the soap.
This is the truest red I’ve tried. I am loving it and plan on getting more.
Ordered this color to go into a multi red apple theme soap. I was not disappointed! I will not hesitate to order this again once I run out!
This is the perfect red! I love using it and won’t stray to another.
Recently i wrote an unflattering review of Trial by Fire. Nuture informed me that i had an early version of TBF, which did migrate / bleed into adjacent colors. The migration / bleeding was evident almost immediately in the soap with the early version of TBF.
Recently I received the latest version of Trial by Fire. I was skeptical. So i put it to the test. TBF colored soap and a white mica colored soap were poured adjacent to one another. The soap is now 1 week old. As evidenced by the included images, there is ZERO migration / bleeding into the adjacent color!!! I have changed my 1 star review to a 5 star review. I have used several reds over the years and they have all been unsatisfactory. This is the BEST RED that i have ever used!!! TBF is a good red color and best of all it actually does not migrate / bleed into adjacent colors. I cannot express how excited and thrilled i am to find a red that behaves. The holy grail of soap colorant was a decent color red that does not migrate / bleed. Nuture has succeeded with this version of Trial by Fire. I highly recommend this color. Thank you Nuture. Namaste. 👍🏻👌🏻💖
