Sakura Pink Mica
Uncharted Colors™ are painstakingly created and tested in our lab by our in-house colorists.
They are available only from Mad Micas and authorized resellers.
Sakura, are soft, delicate, evocative.
These beautiful and gentle blossoms (cherry blossoms in English) are deeply symbolic in Japan, mirroring the transience of life. For centuries, as the sakura have bloomed from late March through early May, hanami, or "flower watching," has been a revered Japanese custom. Hanami is not just to consider the beauty of the sakura; hanami is an opportunity to pause and consider one's destiny and mortality.
Sakura appear in many forms of Japanese art, from film to performance, anime to traditional tattoos. We created this gorgeous gentle pink mica to spark thought and creativity, to perhaps bring calm and acceptance.

| Particle Size | 10–100 μm |
| Usage Rate CP Soap | 2 tsp per lb of oils |
| Usage Rate MP Soap | ½ tsp lb of MP base |
| Ingredients | Mica (CI 77019), titanium dioxide (CI 77891), tin oxide (77861), iron oxide (CI 77861) |
- Usage rates can be varied to lighten or darken hue. Listed amounts create bright colors with no colored suds.
- White MP base will always create a pastel form of the color due to titanium dioxide in base.
- To use in bath bombs or other bath products (water applications), we recommend using polysorbate 80 at a rate of approximately 2% of your total batch weight (dry and wet ingredients). This should allow the color to disperse evenly and eliminate mica from floating on the water's surface or leaving a ring of color around the tub.

Customer Reviews
This mica worked perfectly in my cold processed soap! Love it!!!
Really like this mica color, it's a soft color yet not pastel. Used in cold process soap it turned out very nice
Its a stunningly beautiful color in resin, but I imagine it could be so much prettier on a soap batch!
I was looking for a mica to capture the delicate tones of the Japanese Cherry Blossom for a signature line I had planned and was thrilled when I found this mica. Tried it out and was delighted! It did accelerate the drying time as though I added salt but the soap was beautiful. Will keep this on my list to keep in stock.
Amazing in person and amazing color.
