Question

How do you make a soap colorant? I wanted to make a 1 liter of color, but I don't know how much quanity of color or do I have to cook it?

Answer 1

If you plan to use seasonings as your coloring agent, add enough water to the powdered spice to make a thin liquid. Add all of the colorants listed below along with scents, right before pouring soap into their molds unless directed differently by the recipe. Stir until completely mixed unless a marbled effect is desired.

Begin with 1 tablespoon of spice in enough water to liquify. Add to soap. If more color is desired, repeat. A note of caution when using spicesm, make sure to use a little common sense. Even though Chili Powder and Ground Chilies produce a lovely peach color, they might not be too pleasant in a bath

Rit is probably the best known fabric dye in the industry. Their dyes are liquid, come in a wide color selection and are readily available at grocery and discount stores. Because they are liquid, they do not need to be dissolved prior to adding to the soap mixture. They are also quite economical and allow for custom blending. A little of this dye goes a long way. To begin, use approximately 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) of dye per 3/4 pound (340g) of soap. In your case it is 7,35 ml per one kg. Curdling can result if too much is used due to the sodium content.
