Alkanet root colored soap

[jenfrat]

Didn't turn out how I was hoping. It's not really purple but a grey. I guess I didn't use enough infused oil? Still kind of pretty looking though.
Scented with a lavender/sweet fennel blend.

It looks almost like cocoa in the pic

Lovely soaps! The edges of them look a bit purple, so as the cut surfaces are exposed to air, they may just surprise you and regain some of the purple colour. I like them just as they are, though.

Thanks everyone!

Those are pretty. I've heard that sometimes alkanet can be more grey but maybe it will turn purple. The edges look purple.

Looks like a latte!

Very pretty! If your base oils were more yellowish, then the alkanet goes more towards grey or mauve.

Hmmm...COULD be why. I also put cream in it, so maybe that contributed? I have some samples that didn't gel and they WERE a pale blue and now have turned almost white, these are still gray/tan-ish.

I like the grey. They look sophisticated and classy.
