coffeebean Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I just started making cp soap, & yep I'm addicted lol. My mind is going all the time trying to think of what scents I would like to try. I did find out don't color Green Tea Lemongrass green, it turns brown. I'm a huge Grape lover so I also made some Grape cp soap. When I took a bar down to the barn to show my hubby the sun hit it & turned it orange, so I'm guessing grape isn't a good choice then. Looks like orange, smells like grape. I just thought I would pass on my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What kind of colorants did you use? Some do morph and others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 You know I never thought if that. The grape wasnt colored so there it must be the oil, but the green I used came from a supplier for soaps n lotions. I just assumed that would be a note I keep to not use those fragrance oils for cp soap. I'm still in the learning stages. I did make a mocha hazelnut coffee cp soap that came out awesome so I'm on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hey Coffeebean! I just got addicted to CP too! I still have some grape pop mica I got from TKB Trading. They have some nice soap dyes and a good selection for liquid and micas for CP soaping. I also hear that Tradewinds Select Shades are also very good and Brambleberry also carries some good colorants. I still have a lot to learn about coloring my CP myself but thes are some good suppliers to take a look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-soy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Just a note on the TKB POPS. They were discontinued last year because they cannot source them anymore. The Conservatorie "magics" are pretty close though except the oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Actually TKB Trading carries colors that match the discontinued POP colors. They have a huge variety of colors and in a variety of mediums for CP; mica powders, oil based, LAKE colors. Even ones for M&P; glycerin based, micas, FDA liquid dyes. Plus they even carry colors for lipstick and lipbalms, makeup, eye shadow, bath bombs, lotions, bath salts, body creams and butters, etc. I really like their prices and huge selection compared to other suppliers.

Purple mica would work in CP and not discolor it's just different. Maybe swirling with purple mica would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
