I decided to do a blue soap. I used lard, olive oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, and canola oil. I mixed blue mica with the canola oil and it was a brilliant blue. I melted the hard oils, mixed in the liquid oils and then added the canola with the mica. Looked great. I added the lye water and the color went away completely. I then added the essential oils for scent and brought it to trace. It still had no color as I poured it into the mold. I dribbled the remaining blue canola oil and swirled the top a little. Over time the soap changed to peach, then red, and this morning was turning blue again. Very interesting. The package of mica next to the loaf is the one I used. I'll post again after I cut it.
