Rasberry POP mica morphed to orange!

[soapbuddy]

This was not what I had in mind. I was expecting some sort of pink. I wanted a bright pink darn it!

In the mold

And cut

Thanks Dragonkaz! I now have 2 different soaps that look almost the same.

I've got the raspberry pop mica there to do a pomegranite coloured soap...a far cry from pomegranite...hmmmmm.... off to rethink.

A lovely soap all the same Irena.

I was told not to use the strawberry mica because of morhping issues so used the rasberry shade.
First picture it turned to a peach colour (this gave me doubts that i might have used strawberry instead by mistake).

Second picture used a heavier amount of the rasberry mica and it changed to an orange although whilst mixing the mica with the soap base i got a lovely red shade.
Sadly I will not use it again too unpredictable.

Apologies if my pictures are to big must learn to downsize.

too bad .. I know how you feel .. I have stargazer lilly soap that is orange

If you got yours from tkb, there were a bunch of people saying that tkb accidentally switched the strawberry (which does morph orange) and raspberry mica there. So you could call and get a new raspberry sent to you because there was some kind of mix up. Hope this helps?

Oh man! Still pretty though!

I just saw that. I think I will contact the vendor and ask, thank you.

I was thinking raspberry was supposed to be stable. I'm sorry this happened to you but your soap is still beautiful and I'll certainly be cautious about the raspberry when I use it.

No way...they switched strawberry and raspberry! Mine turned bright orange about 2 months ago...boy was I not happy. I thought it was just the oils or the fo I used that did it. I'll have to email tkb and see what they say.

Thanks Tasha

I guess it depends who you talk to. I was told the strawberry morphs to orange, but the raspberry POP mica is stable. Not in my case.

I was basing what I knew from what I read on TKB's site which states that both strawberry and raspberry are stable in CP.

yep! that is what it says on their site about strawberry, you are right. I have never had problems with my raspberry before... I have tried a very light amount up to a brrright pink and haven't morphed before with raspberry. Hopefully they can help you out.

 

[soapbuddy]

They are mostly stable in high pH (in soap) (Strawberry will morph orange).

What do they mean by "mostly"? That's misleading.

 

[heyjude]

My raspberry pop also gave me a two toned look - half peach/half pink. I made mine about 9 months ago. I don't trust it to give me the color I want.

(However, people who didn't know how it was supposed to look thought it was really cool that the sides and fronts were 2 different colors )

That's weird. Was the peach on the outside and the pink on the inside?

 

[holly99]

I've had the two toned look like heyjude was talking about. The outside had almost no color but the inside was a prettier pink. I've heard of raspberry pop fading and then returning and also being much better with a gel. I've been using raspberry pop but mixing in a bit of celestial colors with it.

Your mica there is acting a bit more like strawberry pop. They say that strawberry will morph orange and it isn't included in the sampler listed under soap stable.

I guess I looked at the wrong info. I was looking at the Strawberry Pop page ( http://www.tkbtrading.com/item.php?item_id=493) and clicked "More Details". The additional info window opens and it says "Use in Soap: Stable and Non-bleeding". I should have read the sampler page. Why would they have contradictory info about Strawberry mica? Also, I'm glad I haven't used it yet. I would have been terribly disappointed.

 

[heyjude]

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.
