Tomorrow I am making my first batch with color. I have alkanet root powder infusing in olive oil and I only plan on coloring a small part of the batter to do a slight purple swirl and a tiny bit of purple on top.
If I'm only coloring a small portion of the soap, do I need to take into account the amount of infused olive oil with the recipe? (my recipe already has a superfat of 8%)
If I do need to subtract that olive oil amount from the total in the recipe, any tips on how to really do that since I don't yet know how much I will need to use to get the right color?
I hope I'm making sense lol
