Jeana Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 This week I dug out some of my natural colorants to play with. I learned so much. It's nice to know after soaping for so many years there's still a lot to learn. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah S Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Which colorants did you use? When I try to go natural, my soap is just many shades of brown. 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tan stripe is a mix of ginger powder and ground apricot seed. The kind of burgundy color is sandalwood powder. The brown is cocoa powder. The green is a mica, but the rest of the colors are natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Gorgeous. A dear Aussie friend of mine wrote a couple of books about soaping with natural colorants. She will be in the states for a soap guild convention soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Love the colors. I could never get my natural colorants to do what I wanted from them. Also, many I found were grainy or scratchy so eventually I gave up. However, your soapies are an inspiration. I do love indigo and tumeric. They are brilliant in soap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these will be a little scratchy, but I've been asked to make more exfoliating soaps, so I did the colorants and herbs without infusing them this time.
