Glow-In-The-Dark Pigments

[homesteaders]

Has anyone tried glow-in-the-dark pigments from Mad Micas (or elsewhere)? I thought those would be fun for soap play dough if they actually glow in the dark. My sons would have had a blast taking a bath with that when they were little!

I have the one from Nurture Soaps, I made soap with it but haven't tested it out yet. Don't think I used enough though.

I need to order colorants soon, so I think I'll give it a go. I found an old thread where someone said he purchased a glow in the dark pigment on Facebook. It looked pretty neat, but he said he used about an ounce in a pound of soap. Seems like a lot. Mad Micas suggested 1 tsp ppo. When I try it I'll post a picture. Might be a few weeks.

I had some samples from crafters choice and yes, they glowed in the dark and under black light.

A member called Kittish (if you're out there, we miss you!) used glow in the dark pigments in her soaps.

I can't remember where the photo's were hosted, so you may or may not be able to find the pictures here by searching, but they glowed .

I’ve used the one from Nurture, pretty sure I only used 1 tsp ppo like normal and it worked great. Still was glowing after a couple years.

Great! This is encouraging. Thanks for the input!
