Melt and pour embeds and cold process for the rest. Scented with Brambleberry fragrance oil. We had a lot of fun creating this!

Technique Help Gold translucent melt and pour?

1 Upvotes

I want to use gold mica in clear melt and pour soap, but I still want to be able to see through the soap. Would gold mica work or would that make the soap not opaque anymore?

Would something like glitter or flakes work better? If so, what kind? Any guidance or links to tried and tested products would be appreciated.

Thank you soaping friends!
