Poppy Red Mica Blend
Poppy Red Mica Blend
Lab Notes: Oh, I'm happy with this! Red poppies have always been one of my favorite flowers in the world and I almost jumped up and down when I opened this version. It was exactly what I wanted! It's vibrant and lively with warm undertones. It is incredibly bright and doesn’t require a lot to get a saturated color.
I quickly made a batch of cold process soap, epoxy resin and clear MP soap, hoping they would all come out as perfect as the pigment blend. They all came out great - and different from True Red! I knew POPPY RED was the name for this one!
I did a little more research on red poppies: they symbolize several things, but the ones I think fit are inspiration, devotion, and hope for a peaceful future. In the Japanese language of flowers, Hanakotoba, the red poppy means “fun-loving”. For me, the “pop” in poppy is the key to this color. More than bright, it is absolute fun!
Looks less red in powder form than it does in products.
CP Soap: Tested using 3 grams/pound of cold process soap batter.
Consistent in both epoxy resin and clear MP soap (usage in MP was ½ teaspoon per lb. of clear base). Predictable.
A mica/pigment blend.
The custom manufacturing process of these exclusive colors may result in slight variations from lot to lot.

Customer Reviews
I ordered 2 jars of this color, not really impressed, it's more of an orange color than RED! Wish I could return...I bit disappointed!
Poppy Red is an awesome neon red! It's the perfect alternative to Brazen Hussy-which is also beautiful, but leans orange. It was the perfect shade for our bomb pop soap. Gorgeous!
I love this color. It's red, but not in your face red. It has a beautiful hue to it and mixes well in bath bombs and CP soap. Definitely recommend for any flower style soap projects.
Color is true to it's name. It came out beautifully In making our handcrafted soap.
