Question about swirled soap.........

[craftgirl08]

Does anyone have any problems getting their wash cloths white again after using swirled soap?

What kind of colorants are you using? Kinda sounds like you are using too much if it stains your wash cloths.

Nope. I've never had soap turn a washcloth.

Sounds like you're using way too much. What type of colorant & are you doing cp soap?

Re: Stained wash cloth

I used about 1/4 teaspoon of brown pigment from WSP for a 2 pound batch of OMH. Is this too much?

That's quite a bit. I mix that much into a few oz of oil & only need to use a few drops for a 2lb batch.

Any time you have color bleeding out of your soap, you've used too much.

I've switched from powdered pigments to bb's Lab Colors. It's pre-mixed into a liquid, so you use just a few drops. It made coloring soooooooo much easier.
