Green mica turned brown

[Buckscent]

So I was making some Christmas tree embeds in my mold, I used BB shamrock green, only green I have right now. Looked at them today they where brown, mold is just a silicone tree mold. Why?

What FO did you use? Did it contain vanilla? I've never used the BB Shamrock Green mica but so far I've never had a green mica morph on me.

Yeah, many Christmas fo'so have vanilla that discolors.

Nurture's green vibrance morphs on me but only temporarily. In about 2 to 3 days it bounces back.

No FO/EO. They where just small tree embeds

Perhaps the mica was not formulated to use in cp soap.

If you have any dried parsley, you might try infusing oil with it to use for your embeds. Here is a link with info. on using natural colorants in cp soap.

You have to double check micas. Some are not cp soap stable.
From brambleberry's website on shamrock green mica:
Not recommended for cold process soap. This color will morph.

Sorry it didn't work out for you!

Green Vibrance from Nurture turns an ugly gold and does not morph back for me :-(

Lily Pad Green Mica from WSP turned a very nice light tan. It looks like I didn't even use any of it.

It won't stay green. Most of the suggestions on that website will fade over a month or two some earlier than that. It's a waste of time and money. There are a few lists on this forum of stable natural colourants.

Mine is really odd too. It morphs into this gross Army color and then sometimes goes back/sometimes stays. I've gotten morphed and original color on the same bar.

It's the only mica from Nurture that I don't like. All the others are awesome.

I bought Shamrock Green from Brambleberry once. I was so mad! Then I reread the item description. <facepalm>

This is interesting. I don't suppose they could be mistaken for little cookies ...?

Yup, this is the one.... I have to remember to read and research each item I buy from now on
