Confused about colorants

[msalex28a]

I've been checking out TKB's colors. Wow they are cheap and have lots to offer. I'm real excited that they have non-bleeding. I will start to be making both white and clear MP. How will I know which colors I choose will stay clear in in the clear base? Do all the non-bleeding stay clear or turn cloudy?

Did you look at their FAQ section? Kaila (the owner) is also very knowledgable. She could answer your questions about her colorants.

i think they relatively stay pretty clear, i would do small test batches if you have doubts about certain colors.

test a small batch without FO, that way you can always remelt or use those amounts for chunks or curls

I've been using TKB's glycerin-dispersed non-bleeding colors for over a year now, and have never had one cloud my clear base. I've been very happy with them.

Okay she emailed me back and said any of the "Brights" do not cloud. I asked her if she had a sample pack of them and she said not at the moment but it's on her to do list. Now do I put my order in or wait ?

I have been using soapylove's jewelry box crystal clear colorants from brambleberry in my clear m&p and they work really well. Its a 5 pack that comes with turquoise blue, fiery fuchsia, ruby red, sunshine yellow and sparkle dust(glitter) for about $10. I mix the colors and you dont need much jus a couple of drops. Hope this helps.

I originally bought my first batch of soap colorants from C&S. They have a very nice sample pack of liquid colors in easy to use squeeze bottles.

I have also used TKBs POP colors and love them for both soap and lip balms. I wish that I had known about TKB before. I would have gotten a sample pack of their non-bleeding liquid soap colorants.
