If you need a warm, clean brown that performs in CP/HP/MP without dulling or greying, Hot Chocolate delivers natural depth and velvety reflections—perfect for layers, swirls, and marble effects.

Its pearly micro-reflections pop in white or light bases, while its particle size supports smooth dispersion and non-bleeding performance inside the soap.

🔬 Evidence-Based Material Benefits

• Alkaline pH stability: suitable for cold process.

• Silky dispersion & clean pearlescence thanks to fine particle distribution (10–60 μm).

• Pure warm-brown tone with coppery-red undertones for a natural result.
  (Based on technical literature/material specifications.)

📌 How to Use & Dosage

• Cold Process (CP): 0.5–2% w/w (≈1–3 g/kg). Pre-disperse in glycerin or a light oil for even colour.

• Hot Process (HP): 0.5–1.5% w/w, add at the finishing stage for better lustre.

• Melt & Pour (MP): 1–3 g/kg, pre-disperse in isopropyl alcohol or a little base.

• Bath Bombs: 0.5–1% w/w, pre-mix with oil/polysorbate for uniform payoff.

• Mica line / Dusting (surface): thin line between layers or light brush on a dry surface.

• Candles: recommended for surface decoration (dusting/rubbing). Not for mass colouring (may affect wick performance).
