Soap Making Fragrance

There are many different ways to add color to soap. Natural color can be added with dried herbs, fruit fibers, clays and essential oils. Bright bold colors can be added with FD&C colors, iron oxides, and micas. Here is some more information about these different options.

Herbs

Many herbs can act as a natural source of color for your soaps. Some herbs like chamomile, calendula, rosehips, and peppermint release their color when infused in oil. These oils retain their color through cold process soap making. Some herbs will lend their color and texture to soap when the dried herb is stirred into the soap. Good herbs to try are powdered sandalwood (light brown), powdered patchouli (brown), calendula petals (yellow), and powdered rose hips (red). Some herbs will not retain their color using this method, so always test your herbs in a small batch of soap before using them to color a large batch. You can get herbs from herb companies as well as soap making suppliers.

Fruit Fibers

Some vendors sell fruit fibers as natural soap colorants. Blueberry, cranberry, and raspberry fruit fibers add differing shades of pink to soap.

Essential Oils and Fragrance Oils

Some essential oils and fragrance oils can be used for coloring soap. Most notable are vanilla fragrance oil or any fragrance oil containing vanilla (will color soaps a light to a dark brown) and sweet orange essential oil (if the color hasn't been removed the folded oil will color soap a dark orange). Some other fragrance oils will all color to your soap - it depends on the manufacturer of the oil. I had a lilac fragrance oil once that always turned my soaps pink after they aged. It was very pretty.

Dried Clays

Dried clays can also be added to soap for color. Two popular clays to add to soap are french green clay (for a pale green color) and french pink clay (for a light pink color).

FD&C Colors, Iron Oxides, and Micas

FD&C Colors and iron oxides add bright colors to soap. FD&C colors are best used with melt and pour soaps. Micas add shimmer and sparkle to soap. Many manufacturers sell kits for these colors.

Floating Candle Kit : The candle you can use forever Sale Price: $9.99   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days See Reviews For This Product Description Fill a container or glass with water. The quantity you determine. You need to only leave enough room for a layer of oil. You can also put something in the water, decorative items in the glass first, and you can color the water as desired (some packets of coloring are included). Pour a layer of oil on the water. Use any vegetable oil (not scented or olive oil). The oil will float on top (so it will not mix with the water). You determine how much, it must cover the surface. ½ inch of oil in a wine glass will provide about 25 hours of burn time. Tear a piece of kitchen paper towel (cotton fibers, not artificial) of about 1.2 by 1.2 inches. Roll it tightly into a small tube and cut with scissors to about 5/8 inch. Put this tube into the middle of the floater piece (the opening is there, do not try to make it bigger or anything) Let the piece fall gently into the bowl. Through the special channels the oil will drift to the paper towel. It will thus be drenched in oil. Because you can later add as much oil as you want, the paper wont burn down or disappear. Light the candle. You will now have a flame without smoke, smell or any waves. You can extinguish at any time. When you do extinguish it, there will be no smoke. The candle will burn as long as there is oil present. A bottle of vegetable oil provides about 1,000 hours of burn time. If the oil is used up, water will come into the ridges (channels) and the candle will extinguish itself. This candle never is used up, you can re-use it as much as you want. Because the candle part is made of heat resistant material (fiberglass) it can be used forever. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN AND ANIMALS DO NOT BURN ANYTHING UNATTENDED .BEWARE: DO NOT USE A REGULAR CANDLE WICK, THESE WOULD BURN OUT BECAUSE CANDLEWICKS DO NOT NEED OIL TO BURN. Features This set will provide everything needed for 6 floating candles From the Netherlands You will also receive 4 small bags of coloring Please read the enclosed instructions carefully.
