"I have used both this mica and Chocolate brown and have yet to get brown out of it in white melt and pour. I'm trying to make "cinnamon sticks" for a project and using clear gives me too much sparkle. When this is added to white, it turns grey. What is the best way to make brown soap? Would it be better to mix some of the clear base soap with white? I'm afraid to try after wasting almost 2 pounds of soap that is gray."

COMMENTS: This color is very brown a little goes a long way. I did have an issue the very first time i used it i added a little white to lighten the color but it turned the soap extremely gray. So don't add white unless you want gray soap.

"Incredible shade of brown!!"

COMMENTS: Wow, does a little bit of this mica go a long way in CP!! My standard usuage rate when it comes to micas in CP is 1tsp/PPO (very rarely have I needed more), so with this mica, I used 1/2 tsp to be added to 8oz. of portioned soap batter. Holy wow was it BOLD at that rate!! Looked stunning & rich, but using less would have produced just as stunning a shade! I ended up with a more dark mocha color in my soap, so next time I think using half of what I did will be perfect for achieving a gingerbread hue. When it comes to browns, I always looked the other way from micas & stuck to using cocoa powder instead, but as much as I do like incorporating cocoa into my recipes, being a natural colorant, you do run into the issue of fading. I love that with this mica, the color will be as true 6 weeks later as it was the day it was cut! I've been converted by this GORGEOUS color!! It's positively rich, decadent & warm looking, and was a breeze obtaining a smooth, consistent look in my soap by simply pre-mixing with a bit of batch oils & a mini mixer. Love love LOVE this color & wholeheartedly recommend!
