If you're working with melt and pour soap, liquid dyes and mica powders are great options. For cold process soap, pigments and natural colorants are the way to go.

Steps to Color Soap:

  1. Prepare Your Base: Melt your soap base if using melt and pour soap.
  2. Add Colorant: Slowly add your chosen colorant, starting with a small amount and increasing until the desired color is achieved.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure the colorant is evenly distributed throughout the soap base.
  4. Pour and Mold: Pour the colored soap into molds and allow it to set.

Choosing the best colorant depends on the effect you wish to achieve. For bright, eye-catching colors, our neon soap pigments like Pizzazz Purple are a fantastic choice. For a more natural look, our ultramarine blue or yellow oxide colorants offer stable and non-bleeding colors.
