🌿Showing the samples after 3 years was meant to show how each colorant fades.⏳ They were exposed to almost no sunlight during that time.😴🌃 If your soap is exposed to sunlight, for example, at farmer's market, this fading can happen in one day.🌞 Just make sure you know about that. It can be frustrating.🌿🧼🛁 Watch till the end to see the colorant names and how they faded.🎨💕

This is a spectacular video. Thank you for sharing. A few discoveries I've made along the way with natural colors. First, if you infuse in the alkanet root with the oils for several hours, low heat, double boiler, your soap will be a vibrant beautiful purple. Combined with red sandalwood powder, it's even more vibrant and lasts longer. For powders like madder root, if you add them to the lye mixture when it is hot at the initial mixing, you'll get more vibrant colors. If you strain it as you pour the lye into the oils, you will have a pure color without all the little dots. Also, using smaller amounts of charcoal gives light blue colors.

@HeatherHogue73 Год назад

I’ve done the double-boiler infusion with paprika and spinach. They yielded vibrant orange and almost lime green, and didn’t fade (but my soaps get used in about 6 months or so after curing, so they may not be the best examples for fading or not fading).

@jacquibuckley6015 Год назад

This has got to be one of the clearest and most concise videos I've ever watched. Your attention to detail is staggering. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. xxx

Wow, this video took 3 years to make! Thank you so much to wait 3 years to show the before-and-after on color fading! Amazing video! It appears that most green botanical colors faded to tan.

Thank you so much for touching on on the water discount. I've been using the soapcalc suggested 38%, and now I understand why my soap takes a few days before I can take it out of the mold, oy! I love natural colourants, the specs make the soaps so interesting

@serenitys_sudsnsuch Год назад

Awesome in depth video, thank you! Being able see the samples years later it super helpful too. I love all the natural earthy tones, just gorgeous! When I tried spinach powder I combined it with nettle powder, they worked great and they still have a tiny twinge green/yellow two years later! I really love using natural colorings, some of them can so hard to find though! I’ve wanted to find blue woad, couldn’t find it anywhere. But, I love my indigo!

@susanfletcher6370 Год назад

I agree, it really is spectacular.For quite a while now I have been looking for info re natural colourants and you have so many.Also, such a really simple way of adding them, as opposed to infusing oil. My soap making is only for my use as a hobby and so having 12 bars of one soap gets a little dull after a while.This technique allows me to make a small batch of say 6 each of a different colour!

@lisabrunet6646 Год назад

Thank you for this incredible video; seeing the color change over 3 years at the end was the best part. I’m so impressed that the soaps arent covered in DOS after 3 years, even though you used avocado oil (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids), shea butter (high in unsaponifiables), a 7% superfat, and loads of botanical colorants! How did you store them? Did you wrap them up, and does your office stay cool all year round? I live in a hot place and longevity is always a challenge here

@NouriaDiallo Год назад

That was very interesting. I think some of the pigments like alknet and turmeric are soluble in oils, so it may be possible to get less grainy results by letting them soak in olive oil for a few weeks before filtering, and using the oil as usual, or as part of the batch...

@HeatherHogue73 Год назад

Yes, I can confirm spinach, indigo and paprika have oil-soluble pigments.

@gratituderanch9406 Год назад

Try Infusions of Paprika, anatto, Alkanet and indigo and Himalayan rhubarb. Gives a vastly different color! And paprika and rhubarb are especially beautiful as infusions. I gave up on Woad- perfect fresh (aqua) but fades to corpse gray ALL the time. Greens are notorious faders too. Also try putting some like ladder and possibly others right in lye.

@bjdefilippo447 Год назад

Thank you so much. Great detail! Beautiful samples. I am an Indie fiber Dyer and use walnut shell and onion skin as well as many of the Botanicals you use here in my dyeing. Could I use onion skin water (steep skins in simmering water) in my lye solution in soap? The yellows and oranges are great in fiber. How do I learn if there might be allergic reactions or worse?

(Usually, it's in extreme cases.) I found that cocoa butter in chocolate will bloom that white film if heated too hot. It likes to be around 93°F.

Hi, I make soaps and am particularly new to soap making. I have a problem with my colored mica. The mica colors bleed in my soap lather no matter which mica color i use ( dark or light ). I add mica at the end when the lye and oils are combined. Even if I add little color the color still bleeds in the lather...I searched up this problem but when i read about it online they stated that no matter which color u use the lather comes out white and colorless. Please suggest how I tackle this problem. Love your videos they are very helpful. Thanks.
