frequently asked

What is a neon pigment?

Neon pigments are ultra-bright, fluorescent colorants that deliver bold, high-impact colour under normal light. Unlike mica, they don't add shimmer or pearlescence, they give pure, saturated colour.

Flotation Device is cold-process stable and non-bleeding, so your colour stays crisp and vivid.

Is it ethical?

We have chosen to partner with Mad Micas to ensure world standard ethical practices. Mad Micas states "we are committed to holding ourselves and our suppliers to the highest ethical standards. We have established a strict set of guiding principles that govern our actions and our supply lines that are rigid and non-negotiable".

You can read their ethics statement here.

Will it bleed or morph in soap?

No. Flotation Device is cold-process stable and non-bleeding, so it holds its bright neon colour without migrating into neighbouring colours or fading over time.

What can I use Flotation Device in?

It's FDA-approved for lips, the eye area, external and bath products. Flotation Device shines in cold process and melt & pour soap, bath bombs, wax melts, resin and other craft projects. Check the safety tags and the Product specs panel above for exactly what this colour is approved for.

Can I use it in candles?

We don't recommend pigments in wicked candles, as they can clog the wick and affect the burn. It's perfect for wickless candles and wax melts, where it adds bold colour with no flame to worry about.

Can I use it in wax melts?

Yes. With no wick to clog, wax melts are a great home for Flotation Device, it delivers vivid colour as the melt liquifies, especially in clear waxes.

My pigment is not dispersing evenly in my soap?

Pre-disperse the pigment in a little oil (like sweet almond or fractionated coconut) before adding it, and blend well. For melt & pour, mix it into a little isopropyl alcohol first. A stick blender helps break up any clumps for an even, streak-free colour.
