Red Mica Color coming off on hands

[LisaMarie]

Hi all. I made a cold process soap using a red mica colorant to make a swirl. I just cut it tonight and it's coming off on my hands and making prints on the white part of the soap as well. Bummer. Anyone have this experience with a mica before?

I've had that problem when I accidentally put too much in. How much did you use per lb of soap?

Yeah, I definitely think I used too much. I put about a teaspoon and a half in less than one pound. Oops.
