Here are some steps to harness its full potential:

1. Choose Quality Mica: Not all mica powders are created equal. For the best results in DIY soap making, ensure that your mica is cosmetic grade and safe for skin application.
2. Pre-mixing: Before adding mica to your soap base, mix it with a small amount of oil or rubbing alcohol to create a smooth, lump-free paste.

   This ensures even color dispersion throughout the soap.

3. Experiment with Quantities: The intensity
