Neon pigments are bright, highly vibrant colourants used in soaps, creams and lotions, and DIY beauty products. They are designed to produce bold, fluorescent-like shades such as neon pink, orange, yellow, and green.

Cosmetic-grade neon pigments are formulated for use in personal care products when used within recommended limits.

Yes, neon pigments can be used in melt and pour soap to create bright, eye-catching colours. They should be dispersed properly in a small amount of fragrance oil or glycerin before adding to the melted soap base for smooth blending.

Testing small batches helps achieve the desired intensity.

Neon pigments provide bold, opaque, high-intensity colours. Mica powders, on the other hand, create shimmer or pearlescent effects.

If you want solid, bright colour without shimmer, neon pigments are usually preferred.

Neon pigments are concentrated and should be used in small amounts. Start with a tiny quantity (such as 0.1%–1% depending on formulation) and gradually increase until the desired shade is achieved.

Overuse may affect texture or stability.

Most neon pigments are non-bleeding and stay in place within soap designs. However, performance may vary based on formulation type and storage conditions.

Always test colour stability in layered or swirl designs.
