kidsngarden Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I 'm lookin for a great pink coloring that is natural. Pink clay maybe?Also a yellow and even a blue.TIA,Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Blonde Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't know if there is a blue clay, but I can't really think of anything to get blue off the top of my head. I know there is no blue food. That's why restaurants use blue bandages. There's blue flowers, but I don't know that the color would work in soap. As to yellow, I have an orange infused olive oil that makes a light lemon yellow soap. Mustard would probably work. Calendula maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsyjen Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Infused alkanet root makes blue to purple color in CP, depending on the pH of your soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperi Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 use turmeric in tiny amounts because not only will the color be darker than you care for, but you will smell it in your soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Madder root - I knew I heard of something! anyone know a good supplier?BethanyI have purchased mine from SoapCrafter's before. I am not sure if they still carry it.... They are a good company.If they do not have it, I would just google it. I am sure there are a lot of herb stores that carry it.HTH.Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
