Pepperi Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You can actually dissolve some cocoa powder to give it a nice chocolate color. For a darker color mica will work as well. Mica is very strong meaning you won't need a lot at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochaMama Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I second the cocoa powder - it works very well for a brown color in your soaps.And 1 oz of Mica is a LOT. You won't run out anytime soon.Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
