Steph in tx Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 as the ones you can use in lip balms? I have some somewhere...and I want to soap some Leather and Lace. I know that the Lace will turn brown, has anyone soaped leather?? I have some micas for lip balms from BCN, but I've never tried them in lip balm yet...(I've had these for a couple of years!) Can you see that I procrastonate? (sp)..Thanks,Steph in txWick Centering Tool Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yes, you can use cosmetic grade micas in soap. However, not all micas are stable in CP. Some will morph and change color. Pinks and reds come to mind. Expect them to go orange or some other funky color. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks AJ, I am still going thru boxes in my candle/soap/grandson's summer room!! LOL I have some White Pearl looking mica...not sure if it's the cosmetic grade or soap-lotion grade. Thanks for the heads up!!

eugenia Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Steph, not all micas are lip safe. Check these TKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Eugenia, I knew that, that's why I was asking about lip safe mica's for soaps. I've had some for a while to use with the lip base, just not into making lip gloss stuff. Only made few for my dd a couple of years ago. I keep these away from the other mica's. I just wasn't sure if I could use for my soap. Thanks for keeping me in line tho... Maybe this will be good info for others too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
