I use an electric coffee grinder to mix my different colors. If you are using oxides, then you can run them through a sieve like shunt2011 says or the coffee grinder. Oxides often come in a large particle sizes and you don't want clumps in your soap.
There's no mystery to mixing oxides but they come in a limited range of colors. You might want to consider getting some ultramarine colors too. That way you can create a larger range of colors.
Thank you so much. I'll try that.There is no specific amount per se. Approximately 3/4-1 tsp per pound of oils. I don't really measure. I mix mine in a bit of oil and get as smooth as I can. I add it to my separated batter until it's the color I want. I generally strain it through a small strainer to avoid lumps.
And I wanted to know which medium are you using for oxide colour mixing? Glycerin or alcohol. Thank you.Color wheels are easy to find online. Just type in color mixing wheel.

I don't use any thing. I mix them dry. After I get the color mixed that I want, I will sometimes use some safflower oil to disperse them in and add that to my soap batter.And I wanted to know which medium are you using for oxide colour mixing? Glycerin or alcohol. Thank you.

Thanks for catching and writing the alcohol tip. It didn't even register in my mind.Alcohol will cause your soap to seize more than likely. I use a bit of oil from my batch.
There would be no safety issues but there could be a staining issue. I would look for foaming bath butter recipes online and see if any of them are using oxides for coloring. I have never made them before.Hi, is it safe to use oxides in foaming bath butter?
