Too much pigment?

I've been playing around with soap crayons for awhile now hoping to make a viable product to sell. The moms and kids who have helped me test them have been very happy with them so that has been encouraging.

Basically I use clear M&P, a little bit of FO, and enough liquid pigment to allow the soap to 'draw' on the bathtub. The colors that have worked the best for me are purple, blue, and green. Red will mark, but not as well as these other three. So far they clean up from the tub and shower just fine. They don't stain the grout, the fiberglass tub, the tile, or the countertops.

However, if I let some blobs of this dry out on a white washcloth, and run it through a long warm cycle in the clothes washer, it comes out stained from the pigment.

Although my friends didn't comment on this (I don't know how nice their towels are, lol) I am really concerned about this. I don't want this to be a deal breaker :(

How would you handle this? Would you even attempt to sell these? How would you warn people about this?
