8-GRAN-ONES Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am just really playing with M&P...so far..but i am enjoying it.But what type of colorants are the best, if you are using clear soap, but you want to add a slight color, and it still be clear.

Candybee Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I only used the FD&C liquid colorants from C&S in my M&P. They didn't make the clear base cloudy. What I liked about them was the easy squeeze bottles they came in so you only squeeze out a drop at a time without making a mess. I got the sample set with all the colors. That was about 8 yrs ago and I still have lots of colorant left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-GRAN-ONES Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Does the fd&c color not bleed or migrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 C&S is Candles and Supplies. Unfortunately the colors can bleed but I only used them to color solid bars. Embeds can bleed into the bar as I found out. I know that TKB carries non-bleeding soap colorants. I have only used them in CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
