"Hi! I was wondering if the micas listed under cosmetic colorants are safe to use in the body splash base? Thank you :) "

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Micas can be added to a body splash but they will settle to the bottom of the bottle. They will not suspend. Stained Glass Liquid Dyes are best for this type of product.

"What does it mean when a mica is not CP soap stable? Does this mean it morphs, and may or may not return to its original color? Or, should it not be used in CP at all, for some other reason?"

Staff Answer Not CP stable means it will morph, in this case, usually to gray. We would not recommend using this in CP. We have used the Amethyst Purple Mica Powder in CP and it has worked very well:
