Has anyone used this stuff? I got it at an estate sale. It belonged to someone who was obviously a serious soapmaker, judging by all the soapmaking equipment and supplies at the sale, as well as the large quantity of soap. That made me think that if a serious soapmaker had this colorant it must be ideal for coloring soap. And drops have got to be easier to use than any kind of powder! So I bought it (for about a dollar). But I can't find much online about it. The DecorRom website is useless (and not secure). I haven't seen anything on this forum about these liquid colors. And soap suppliers certainly don't offer it. The only information I have is what you see in the pictures.
I've used it a couple times, mostly recently the "Grape" and "Lavender" colors, neither of which looked anything like grape or lavender in my soap--either initially or after curing.
So I'm just wondering if anybody out there is familiar with this and if you think it's okay--based on the ingredients--to use in cold process soap (notwithstanding the fact that it may or may not produce the color I'm after), or if I should just get rid of it and lament the loss of my dollar. Thanks!
