Brilliant blue water surrounds you the entire way to Key West.  And Key West Blue mica surrounds you with the same ethereal shade of blue. It has a subtle, silvery radiance that reflects the light and enhances its already vivid hue.

"Bright and crisp Key west makes a perfect, bright blue that mixes smoothly into soap batter, even if you forgot to pre-mix it with oil. Don't ask me how I know."
—-- Laura P. (verified)

If you haven't been lucky enough to go to the Keys yourself, let this gorgeous mica be your ticket to the experience. Every time we crack open a jar it makes us want to grab some sunscreen and hit the beach.

Key West is stunning!

Key West mica is one of my all-time favorite micas. It is fabulous in my CP soap--super easy to incorporate and the color stays true. I love using it in my shower steamers and lotions, too. Wowza! (...probably why I buy this a pound at a time... :))

I absolutely love this color. I received it in a packet in a collection I bought and I need more. It's gorgeous in CP soap.
