Description
The True Red Trio is a great place to start for making your own red blends. There are several different ways to make a true red in cold process soap. The general rule of thumb is to start with a very bright pink base or a reddish orange one. Using a pink base will create a bright pink-based red. Using a reddish orange base will create a bright orange-based red.
Here are the best colors to use to make your own red:
- Queen of Hearts Mica
- Brick Dust Mica or a similar dark red such as Ruby Red or Red Vibrance
- Neon Red (migrates), Neon Deep Orange, or Neon Red-Orange
Neon Red bleeds and migrates, so be aware of this if you are creating your own red blend. We tested red blends made with Red-Orange Neon and Deep Orange Neon. We prefer Red-Orange as it creates a red that is a touch brighter and true.
Add any of these colors in equal parts and mix, mix, mix! We prefer using our Mica Mixer to ensure all colors are completely dispersed. This will help prevent streaks or speckling in your soap.
We encourage you to try different blends and see which one works best for you!

This was ok. Not the best reds. One turned pink and one was fluorescent orange.
This set is actually intended to be used to blend together to make red. So yes, individually they are a bright pink based red, a brick red and an neon red-orange.
But blended together in equal parts you should get the red as pictured on the product page!
I have finally found a true red through and through! Fan for life!
Versatile red.. I love it for my lip balms and cold process soaps.
I mixed the Queen of hearts and brick dust mica in my Christmas themed soap and I was quite impressed by the results. Will be purchasing larger sizes
I've worked with a few reds in search of a true red for Christmas and Valentines. Trial By Fire is the only red you'll ever need. The others are excellent quality, but for a true red, Trial By Fire is it!
