The first pic is a soap I made for my mom using the Chanel #5 FO. I didn't use any colorants in this soap.
The second pic is a Lavender, Anise, Litsea Cubeba, and Camphor EO scented soap using Alkanet, Annatto, and Activated Charcoal as colorant.
The third pic is my Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Orange 5X, and Litsea Cubeba EO cupcakes using French green clay(which doesn't show up in the base), Madder Root, Alkanet, and Annatto for colorants. The butterflies were done several weeks ago and I used Ultramarine blue for them. Some of the other cupcakes have the Ultramarine Violet butterflies on them.
My fourth pic is my Black and Gold bar a tribute to a certain football team. I used Anise, Orange 5X, Allspice, and Bay Rum EO. I used Activated Charcoal which I didn't mix ahead with oil so it didn't disperse nicely through the soap, but I like it all the same and Annatto for colorant. This also was made with Shocktop pumpkin wheat beer.
My fifth bar is my absolute favorite of the group. I used Lavender, Geramium Rose, and Lemongrass EO. I used alkanet as the colorant. It smells heavenly.
My 6th bar is a goats milk one using Spearmint and Rosemary EO. I used Spiralina as the colorant and dried spearmint leaves(also sprinkled on top) I knew they would turn dark, but I like the affect. This also smells wonderful.
Except for my beer bar they all have cruelty free tussah silk. And they all have coconut milk except for the goats milk bar. So I have been having a lot of soaping fun!
I infused my annatto seeds in olive oil so that I could just put it in my french press when I needed to use it. I made an olive oil infusion with both my spiralina powder and my alkanet powder. It is great all I have to do is pour it in my soap batter a walla I have colorant!
