Greeting Soapers. A quick question when using herbs or spices for color. I made a eculyptus-orange soap the other day. I used a 50:50 ratio of turminic/paprika for orange color and a 50:50 mix of nettle leaf/comfrey for more color. The soap was gelled but after comparing the gelled soap to that left over in the bowels, the ungelled soap is brighter and prettier to me. Is that the case for all colors made with herbs or spices? I just starting to explore use of natural colorants. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
