We have mixed this color with black Oxide to get a spruce/forest green, very nice! Has a light army green to dark mossy green.

General Instruction for Nu-Scents pigments:

Cold Process (CP) soapmaking: Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5cc)of dye or pigment to 1 oz of carrier oil and mix well. Make sure all the clumps are evenly stirred into the solution before using. You can even chose to add the pigment and oils to a small baggie and squish the baggie with your fingers to get an even mix. Use a dropper to add the colored oil to your warm oils (CP soaper), a few drops at a time, making sure you don't color beyond what you wanted to and stir after each addition.

Melt n'Pour (MP) soapmaking: There are three different methods to use it.

(1) Add pigment directly to MP and stir, stir, stir. This may cause speckling in your soap.

(2) Add pigment to small baggie and mix thoroughly with oil or glycerin. This way, you can make sure to squish out any speckles. Then, pour the mixture into the melted soap base, reseal your baggie, and save the rest for the next time.

(3) Make a giant color chip - Mix a small bit of pigment, glycerin or oil (1/2 tsp to 1 tbsp) works fine in a small plastic cup or ice cube tray. Make sure it's mixed well - until all the pigment is totally dispersed in the oil. Then add the clear MP to the cup and stir up well. Let sit for a few hours to harden and there you have a color chip. The larger container you're filling up the more pigment you should add initially to be sure your color chip has the most color possible. To use the color chip, just chop off pieces and melt into your soap. However, by using the color chip method you won't be able to have an accurate usage of color for a recipe notebook.
