Lavender soap help

[cmzaha]

Mad Micas is one of my favorite sources for micas, but Nurture Soaps is a close second. @cmzaha is it liquid blue food coloring? Or gel? I'm adventurous sometimes.

Liquid from Smart & Final which is FD&C Blue #1

Queens Purple makes a beautiful lavender.

I suspect you're either using too little or you're not using the right micas. I add Kaolin clay and TD to most of my batches and I've never had an issue with coloring my soap in purples or other colors.

Hi I have another question when I make 100% coconut oil soap it should take color right lav right have u made 100% coconut oil it’s easy and love the lather I ask myself why add all the other ingredients??

 

[CatahoulaBubble]

I use different ingredients because I like different properties in my soap. 100% coconut oil soap is too drying for my and my customers' taste. It took me a long time to come up with my preferred soap recipe.

Is this what you're trying to make?? This color? You may want to get some mica just for soap. See ingredients list in link
