Lemon Yellow Neon Powder is an oil dispersible colourant. This colourant doesn't bleed in soap and can be used in both Melt and Pour Soap and Cold Process Soap - it must be moistened before adding to the soap.
The pigment can be a full on Neon Colour, even in Cold Process Soap, BUT this does depend on HOW MUCH YOU ADD! You are in control! You can achieve a pastel to a full on fluro in-your-face colour!
Instructions for Use:
For Melt & Pour Soap: When we tested this colourant in Melt & Pour Soap, we first mixed it in Glycerine PF at a ratio of 1 part powdered neon pigment (10%) to 9 parts Glycerine PF (90%). We used a mini mixer to create a mixture. Then to achieve the colour pictured above, we added 5 drops of the mixture per 100g of Melt & Pour Soap Base.
For Cold Process Soap: This colourant is best moistened with oil. We recommend starting out with the following:
Add 2 teaspoons of pigment to 25ml of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond Oil or Rice Bran Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil - stir to moisten the powder and then mix well using a coffee frother (or mini mixer) – add 2 teaspoons of this mixture per 500g of traced soap for the mid tone shade in the graphic.
