Note:
We may witness a change in the shade of mica. For example, the blue mauve mica appears the same without any change when making soap with a transparent glycerin base, but it almost disappears entirely when making soap using the cold process. Often, mica colors in cold process soapmaking can change after reacting with the alkalinity of the mixture formed during the soap curing process. These chemical reactions can lead to a change in the color or appearance of some types of mica, where pH levels, temperatures, and other soap ingredients play a crucial role in this process.

To ensure color stability in your recipe, it is strongly recommended to conduct a small test before using a larger quantity. It's worth mentioning that the transformation is not necessarily a defect and does not depend on the product's quality. In some cases, mica can add a touch of beauty to cold process soap. For example, pink mica can produce a soft peach color, while blue mica can create a beautiful lavender hue.
