"Pure, deep black pigment with a smooth matte finish. Blends easily and works well on its own or to darken other colors. Clean, consistent quality with no unwanted undertones. Excellent for advanced color work."
"I love this pigment and have been using it for 15 years. It is definitely my go to green. Reliable lovely green color that you can lighten or darken by adding other colors to it. My favorite green ever. Performs perfectly in cold process; and if you see any color morphing right after the soap is made, not to worry, it will come out perfectly in the end. You don't need to add much."
"This is definitely Black. I couldn't believe how stark black my soaps look. Not grey at all. Wonderful color."
"I agree with the previous review. I used 2 teaspoons for 2 1/2 pounds of soap. Should have used only 1 teaspoon. Got gray lather."
"A Little Goes A Long way"
"I used this oxide as a swirl in a 2 lb loaf scented with the CC Moonlight Path FO (ordered from WSP). The end result of the combo was awesome. The oxide colored the soap like a breeze. I mix the oxide in oil @ 10 minutes before adding soap at light trace then used this to swirl into my entire loaf colored white with the water based TD (ordered from WSP). Everyone loves this soap. A little goes a long way depening on what end result color you're looking for. I wanted black so I used a tad bit more. Easy to use and easy to dispense containers work for me."
"I've gotten a nice deep black and also shades of grey using this pigment. If you want a true black, you will have to use more of course, but stay away from lighter base oils if you do or you will have a harder time achieving a rich black color without ending up with colored bubbles or lather. When I don't use activated charcoal powder for my black, this is what I grab!"
"Pretty easy to get a true black with this oxide without ending up with grey lather. You don't have to use that much and it premixes well with glycerin so that you can have it ready to add when your making a batch of soap. The price is great for the amount that you get. 2 oz will last through quite a few batches."
"This was used to make a beautiful swirl in Anise soap. Need a bigger size next time!"
