My first pink soaps- lol! Pic included

[Kerye]

I really wanted to make some pink, lavender eo soap.

I am however, not known for my patience.

So, I made a nice lard soap, and added lavender eo at trace. I also added.... 1 1/4 pink crayons melted!!! LOL!!! The pictures tell the story of the result, which is very pretty, however I am having a really hard time with having a crayon in my natural soap!!! :roll:

However, my 7 year old grand daughter Emma saw them and went wild! She is insisting now that I have to make her her very own pink soaps. So now, I am on a quest for pink clay!

I do love the way they look though!
This was my first batch that day, the second batch was orange FO and baby carrots, they are a pale yellow color.

I like the colour, but I do agree about having a crayon in your natural soaps. There must be something that you can colour soaps with to that gorgeous colour!

They look great!

Very pretty....kinda weird to think of crayons in soap, but the color is absolutly gorgeous. I too am on a quest for clays to color my soaps. If you find suppliers, please let me know. Thank you!

They really are a pretty shade of pink and look great...but I too am working with all natural ingredients so I would love to learn of something natural for pink coloring. Also, I've read that you shouldn't use crayons, but I am fairly new to this so maybe someone more seasoned could tell us why. For a pale lavender shade, I have used alkanet root powder. I add a very small amount (approx 1/4 t or less depending on recipe - you can always add more if needed) to 1 ounce of oil (from the recipe). I then add the tinted oil to my batch after the lye is mixed with all the other oils, but before trace. It comes out to be a nice natural lavender, but not as vivid and pretty as your pink.

For a natural pink you can search for yeallow dock on the forum; several people have had really nice outcomes with this powder.
Pink clay gives a soft, natural looking pink.

One poster suggested for a soft pink soap to use French Pink Clay. I have spent a considerable amount of time searching many of the soap suppliers' websites and have not been able to find "French Pink Clay". I have found other clays but not one by that name. Anybody know where it can be purchased?

From nature with love has a nice section of clays and muds... Must be more suppliers though. Look for pink kaolin clay.

Thanks dagmar88 - I believe I saw pink kaolin clay so will check this out. I was looking specifically for the French Pink Clay; was wondering if it might have another name. Thanks so much!

looks wonderful! Let us know what happens in the clays. I'm also interested in clays.

Very pretty! My pink clay came out more dusty pink than bright pink. Give it a shot!
