Where did the pretty color go??

I used a rasberry color Pop Mica (from Peaks) in this soap, which I thought looked so pretty:

So you can imagine my disappointment this morning when I unmolded this:

This is my first experience with mica and I'm so sad now. I thought they were supposed to be CP stable?? :cry:

Did you pop it into the freezer to prevent gel?

My colors will do that, and then reappear. I made a brown and green swirl for a pear soap 2 days ago. The green turned into yellow after I mixed it and remained yellow till I unmolded it about 24 hours later after taking it out of the freezer/fridge. I cut it this morning and it's the perfect shade of lime green...much better than the baby poo yellow. Give it some time, and air, and see what happens in a day or 2.

No, I didn't put it in the freezer, I actually insulated it. Ok, so I'll wait and see what happens with it. Glad your green came out nice. 'baby poo yellow'-lol

If I'm remembering correctly, I used the Raspberry Pop once too and had the same trouble. I think it may have to do with the amount you use, but I haven't tried it again to test that theory. Either way, your soap looks beautiful!
