Hi there,

I am making a peppermint and Eucalyptus fragrance soap and would like to give it a green colouring. Apart from sea kelp which I understand can be used, does anyone know of any other natural colours? I would like to create a minty colour (I hear that dried mint goes brown over time so would like to avoid using mint!).

Many thanks in advance!
 
chlorella powder has stayed green for me, also green clays have stayed.
you might try a small amount of french green clay. :)
 
ooops, i just realized you were asking about M&P. :oops: i dunno if green clay works with MP...
sorry
 
Chlorella & liquid chlorophyl will turn brown in mp. Sea kelp also will turn brown after a few months.

Clays usually keep their color in mp soap, but sometimes the fragrance you put in can make it change color. So make sure you just test a small bit of scented soap at a time.
 
You can buy chlorophyll in powder form at health food stores. You'll find it in the section where they sell vitamins and herbs. It comes in a capsule, but you can easily open them up and use what's inside.
