Rasberry POP mica morphed to orange!

[soapbuddy]

Yes, Soapbuddy, just what Holly said. I have a picture but it only shows the inside raspberry color and not the peach outside color. I'd take another picture, but I just used the last bar.

Interesting! I wonder if that has anything to do with the outside oxidising faster?

That sounds as reasonable as anything else, Soapbuddy. It's just so strange that so many of us seem to have the same problem. I've read similar posts on other forums.

I've had the same issue with some CPOP peppermint bars for Christmas that were supposed to be red and green but instead morphed to orange. A couple of weeks later I was using the raspberry pop in some lip balm. I accidentally got it too hot when reheating a little of it and the lip balm morphed to bright orange this time! So I'm wondering if this is a temp issue with this particular mica as opposed to a pH issue. Any thoughts?

I don't gel my soaps, so for me, I don't think it was a temp issue.

I don't gel my soaps either but that is an interesting occurance!
