"Strawberries & Cream Fragrance Oil worked well in cold process soap, though it did discolor to a medium brown. The fragrance stayed true through curing, offering a pleasant blend of sweet strawberries and smooth cream. A reliable choice for those looking for a simple, fruity scent."
"Wow, I really wish there were more varieties of these pigment powders. This is another one that you don't need much to get a rich color and really not a lot of speckling either."
"I had tried other products with other websites to get brown colored soaps. I finally broke down and decided to buy this one fearing I would be disappointed again, needless to say this is a winner and it can be caramel in color or chocolate and only takes a little. ."
"I love the container this oxide came in. The container make dispensing the product very easy, versus dispensing the powder from a zip lock baggie. The oxide blended easily into a castor oil, benzoin oil and polysorbate 20 blend I made and incorporated into my CPOP soap recipe using this oxide. The soap looked like chocolate; no lumps of oxide was in the soap or anything."
"This is the first time I've used any powdered oxide pigment, and I really LOVE the earthy color of this tint. I didn't get any of the speckling that other reviewers have mentioned, but that may be because I mixed the pigment with a little rubbing alcohol before adding it to the melted base. I think in order to avoid the speckling that others have mentioned, it is necessary to only use the liquid portion of the mixed color to tint the soap, and leave the residue at the bottom of your mixing cup."
"I have used this brown in multiple batches and it always blends beautifully. Doesn't take much. A must-have in my supplies!"
"I used this in an ultra white soap and it came out a really nice creamy brown. Mixed it in a little glycerin first and poured it in and whisked my soap. No speckling."
"I love the rich cocoa brown you get with this oxide, always looks rich and blends well, makes an AWESOME swirl effect in a white base ;-)"
"Brown is one of those colors that is really hard to get a ""true dark brown"". This one does it! I have every mica and glitter than WSP sells. The sparkle ones are breath taking in the clear bases. So, I guess I can say I LOVE THIS! I finally broke down and bought the liquid glycerin (from WSP of course) and it make a world of difference. I had the problem of the micas not mixing well into the melted soap bases, but the glycerin in a life saver. Put some in a dixie cup with the mica, stir well, add it to the soap base, and, perfection!it."
"I bought a huge amount of this and it will probably last me forever! This color disperses perfect in oil. . . not as well in glycerin. Great brown color. . . I use it mixed with American red oxide for a nice chocolate brown. It came in a ziploc bag and I transferred it over to a jar for easier storage. Color does not fade in the sun and does not migrate."
