ILVCANDLES Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hello! I bought some water base dye for my CP soap. The instructions say you can use it for MP & CP. I am kind of confused because I just read on here you can not use Water Based Dye for CP. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Where did you read that? Most of my soaps are made with liquid FD&C and D&C dyes, and they're water based. They can sometimes morph because of the pH of the soap, but as long as you know the morphing (like blue #1 turns purple in CP) you can easily work with it.

ILVCANDLES Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Thanks for responding Soapersworkshop. If you type in the search button "water base dye" and look for the thread "First batch of CP soap - Questions" that is where I read it at. I will just try them out and see what happens.Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I read the post you told me to find. I don't know why she said that, unless she had misinterpreted something written somewhere else. But some of the most popular soap colorants out there for CP Soap (Peacock, LabColor, Select Shades) are water based. Basically the D&C and FD&C colorants come in powdered form, and are then reconstituted with water to make them much more manageable to use. I buy my colorants powdered and mix my own, as opposed to paying for the water. I'm including a link to some photos of various soaps I've made over the years with water based colorants. As you can see, water based colorants certainly can work VERY well in CP soaps. It's a good thing, since they're my favorite type of soap colorant!

BLSoaps Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 LOL! Thank you! I've been doing this a long time, and have really come a long way with my websites. I'm still doing all of it myself, including my photos. My webhost honestly has to take most of the credit for how the site looks overall. HCMPro. If you know PrairieAnnie on here, that's the company she and her husband Frank run. And they're amazing! But I host both my sites through them.

thecandlespastore Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well considering that we make cp soap with water I can't see why a water based dye would be a problem. I love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
