kitchen cabinet spices

[renaissancemom]

what is everyone's experience with Paprika and cinnamon and any other kitchen cabinet spice in terms of final color in a CP soap batch? i am also looking to make a yellowish color using something from the cabinet, any suggestions?
thank you, michelle

i think you'd have to infuse one of your oils and then strain out the spice to not have any flecks ( unless of course you want them )

tumeric is suppose to give you a yellow as well as carrot juice ( sunny yellow ) or the insides of some beta carotene capsules.

tomato paste or paprika; peachy color

cinnamon: Cinnamon is an additive commonly used as a natural deodorizer that also has antiseptic properties. Cinnamon is used in it’s grounded form & makes for a dark and spicy soap. Large amounts can cause skin irritation.
