![]() You can make beautiful handmade soaps without any artificial ingredients! Natural colors like Sea Clay, Cocoa Powder, Turmeric, Nettles, and Beet Root can be used to color soap and some of them are excellent for skin, too. I usually pick an essential oil to scent my soap first and then think about which colors I imagine when smelling that scent. For Orange obviously I think of different shades orange and white, Patchouli makes me think of earth tones and Lavender brings to mind feminine purples and pinks. Really use your imagination to select herbs and healthy ingredients for soap colors. If you are selling your soap, you must follow the FDA guidelines for coloring soap, but if it's just for you, use anything you want! A general rule of thumb ~ if you can eat it, you can likely put it in soap :) No time to DIY your own soap right now? We make a line of soaps using all essential oils, naturals colors, and only organic oils and butters called In the Wild. Take a peak and see if any of them sound good to you. |
