If you prefer natural colorants, check here for a complete list of colors from herbs, spices and minerals that withstand cold process and other rigors of lab.
Certain fragrance oils also give color. The vanillin in our Vanilla Bean FO will turn your CP soaps and lotions and creams tan to brown. Try our Pumpkin Spice FO, too, for an aromatic journey to Grandma's autumn kitchen.
Essential oils lend scent and color, too. Try our 5-fold Valencia Orange if you're making an orange-colored soap. You'll get a lovely shade of orange using just 3% of this remarkable essential oil. Use in leave-on products, too, without fear of photo-sensitization -- the turpenes are greatly reduced. Sweet Orange, Pink Grapefruit and Patchouli also add lovely yellow and orange colors to cold process soaps.
Calendula petals and ground rosehips are examples of herbs and botanicals that will compliment your autumn soaps and sundries. Use at about 1-2% of the batch weight
