moefun Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Im new here and I see you ladies have the most colorful soap ever.I wanted to know what are you using? I see post about FO making color and the drys; but I couldn't find a thread just about where you get you colors or what you use so Im asking for a list; I would like to use colors and make some swirls. i have only made a few bars just getting into it but i think if i had color i wuld be more excited and do more. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Yeah they do have quite colorful soaps don't they? I use micas mostly, purchased through a coop, but dang near every soap supplier has them. You might check 'em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I color my soaps with lots of different things. Australian clays from KB, for example. Or oxides & ultramarines from BB or SS. I love the liquid colors from Dragon Lily (now carried by Soap Silly). I've even used micas for swirls. Herbs ... you name it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ship in amber glass, I like that.Haven't tried their colorants but I wouldn't hesitate to order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I use select shades from Tradewinds, and they are quite wonderful. Here's a couple of soaps made with them. I love the vibrant colors that you can achieve.http://scentedoasis.com/iedit/3_Watermelon.jpghttp://scentedoasis.com/iedit/4_StormWatch.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Oh wow.. Everything from clays, herbs, micas, oxides, ultramarines, lab colors... But I started blending my own FD&C's, and I'm much happier. But still use all of the above but the lab colors, just because they are FD&C's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smart tart Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Well I haven't tried it (yet) but I read where people have used crayons And I figured it might just bring back that discussion that crops up once every couple of months....lol And I think I just saw another mica/oxide co-op going on......those are always wonderful choices for colors....
