    Beeswax Flop in CP Soap

    I don't use beeswax in soaps but I can see what you talking about. Personally I won't sell it nor give it away. I would shred it make a small batch of soap and add the shred to it making a confetti Soap. I once did that with a soap I had that went bad and it came out nicely. I will show you a pic

    Well I bought some mica a while back. There wasn't a brand since I bought Lil packages and I found that I had to put alot to get a little color. I have seen videos on youtube with bought nice colors. I don't get that when I use it it's more dull
