No, I have found that 50 is the standard. Unless it's clearly communicated that it should be less then it's 50 in my experience. It's the same price. It may have been simple miscommunication between supplier and vendor. It's happened to me.

The durometer of the silicone changed. The flimsier molds are a higher durometer, most likely 50. The stiffer molds are 30-40. The higher the durometer, the higher the tensile strength and flexibility. Higher durometer is great in some cases, but wouldn't be preferable with silicone that has no...

The Flare's are definitely not as pigmented as our less glittery micas. A helpful tip is to add one of our more pigmented micas to the Flares for a deeper concentration of color. :)

Hi Penelopejane! Can you please direct me to where this was stated? I have not heard this before, and if it's happening I definitely need to let our carpenter know!

Thank you House of Wool! lenarenee the truest green we have now is Vibrance Green.Looking at Kelly Green, Green Vibrance looks very close. It does go through a morphing stage where it turns a brownish gray but comes back to green in about 24 hours. :)

I fixed it. It was the default wording of the template, and I agree it was confusing! We will be restocking most of our colors within the next 2 weeks. The holidays put us behind a bit. :)

No, I'm not, but I have a lot of common sense. Looking at the CDC guidelines and environmental exposure limits, it's clear that unless you're getting exposed to a lot of mica many hours a day, day after day, a respirator is not necessary. If you want to be as careful as possible, there's no...

And even in that case it's not enough mica to justify wearing a respirator and a dust mask will be just fine.

I know from extensive experience that smaller particles are less likely to become airborne than larger particles regarding mica. So unless you're throwing your mica up into the air intentionally, or working with large amounts that may become airborne through typical work (such as repackaging...

Nanoparticles are .1 micron or below. The typical mica micron size is 10-60 microns and I have never seen a nano mica. I don't believe it's possible.

Sorry about the missing MSDS everyone! I will get that posted tomorrow. I didn't realize Super Sparkles didn't have one. If you work with mica often it is best to wear a face mask. We get ours from Uline. The Super Sparkles safety information will be almost identical to that of any other...

Sorry navigator, but I don't think the brown will come back to purple. :( At least half a tsp. per pound of oils should be used with any mica. I think you added just enough to make the batter go brown, especially if there was a lot of green or yellow oils. Gel will help, but it most likely won't...

The FDA breaks down color regulations into categories. Colors may not be cosmetic grade and don't have an FDA specification in that case. If the FDA does approve a color for cosmetics, it is in at least one of three categories: Safe for lips, safe for eyes, or safe for external use (i.e. nails)...

I tried to insert an image of the new labels. Fingers crossed that it works! Snappy, that info is actually required per regulation to be on colorant labels. Those who don't include it are breaking regulation. I had to buy a fancy new printer to be able to print so many variants of labels, as...

Hi Newbie! I think you may have micas with the old labels. Our new ones are much different. I will post a pic soon. Someday the logo may change and I agree with you. However, logo changes require an amazing amount of relabeling, etc. When it changes I will definitely have to be prepared!

I can't thank you all enough for the wonderful information in this thread! I think companies pay big bucks for this kind of info, and all of you were kind enough to share it for free. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I did make some changes to the site since originally posting on this thread...

I just did some poking around on the wishlist. If you highlight the permalink and open it in a new tab you can add each item to your cart from there. Not ideal but a workaround for now for those who have a lot of items on their list. :)

Yes, not_ally, that is exactly what I mean about the wishlist! Nsmar4211, I love being critiqued, and I think your suggestions are great! Next week I will start implementing some of the ideas given here. I look forward to it!

Hi nsma4211! Do you mean something like this? https://nurturesoap.com/content/6-cp-color-guide I know there's a few colors yet to add but I grouped the colors together so it makes it easier to see them side-by-side. Do you think it would also be helpful if I linked each picture to the product...

Not_ally, there's some things about other suppliers I really admire, and of course there are things I'm not so fond of. :( I do look at others' sites though! I like to know what's going on. :) Snappyllama, I have a wishlist for my wishlist! Ha! I would like it to be easier to access and will...
