Soap Making Products: Liquid Gel Metallic Soap Colors
Non-bleeding liquid gel colors. An ideal choice for making soap embeds/inserts. Experience the shimmering effects of Mica. These colorants work best when used with clear soap base or for adding shimmering effects to other liquid gel colors. Safely colors lotion, shower gel, bath salts, MP & CP soaps. Cosmetic Grade. One ounce colors approximately 8 pounds of soap to a medium shade.
These colors can be used to paint soaps.
Using a dry brush, lightly dust the soap surface with cornstarch for better paint adhesion. Paint has a tendency to pull away from oily surfaces, such as soap. This is especially true of melt and pour soaps. CP (cold process) soaps tend to have more of a porous surface and paint adheres better. We recommend using professional artist brushes in smooth, even strokes. Allow painted surface to dry for 15 minutes (we suggest overnight) before applying a second color layer. Do not wrap painted soaps for at least 24 hours to avoid paint pulling away from soap surface.
White Sparkle Adds sparkle to transparent melt and pour soap. Not recommended for other applications as it can't be seen unless light is passing through the product. Add this sparkley white mica to other liquid gel colors for a shimmering effect. Non-bleeding. Stable in all kinds of soap making.
