tonyjazz Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I want to make my own soap and have been studying whatever I can find here and on the net. Monday I will go and get some MP base from my candle supplier. I've been checking my fragrances for candles to find out which are soap safe. The lady that waits on me at the candle store gave me a small slice of some soap she made. It looked like a jelly roll. It was the best soap I've ever used and want to make it for myself and as gifts for Valentines Day. From what I've read I understand you can use mica and food coloring in small quantities. Any tips, especially about coloring agents would be most appreciated. I want to make bars and mold soaps. Thanx.........................TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There are many things you can do with M&P. A good place to read through is the Soap Queen's blog. http://www.soap-queen.blogspot.com/Here's a place to take a look at the differences in colorants. http://www.teachsoap.com/colorants.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyjazz Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the advice. I picked up 3 different kinds of MP bases today. Clear, Goats Milk and Coconut. Made 10 bars for personal use. Fast, easy and very interesting. Great soap......Got blue and red soap colors. Made my own yellow from annatto seeds and olive oil infused.
