POPPY RED™

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.

LOVE this color!!!!

Absolutely love this red. It's the brightest most amazing pop of color. I used it in this soap as a contrast between the blues and greens and it just turned out gorgeous!

Stunningly bright red for MP

It's my new favorite when it comes to red mica, probably even better than the true red blend. Highly recommended especially for clear medium such as MP.
