Liquid soap color

[txsoaper]

I have made up some liquid soap, but it is a caramel color which is so ugly! Is there anything I can add to it to lighten the color up to be more of a cream color?

Try a small amount of water soluble titanium dioxide.

Thanks for that suggestion. I was actually wondering about the titanium dioxide......now, at what percentage should I start with? Or it the really no wrong amount?

Depending on the color of your oils and butters start with 1/2 tsp per lb. of soap.

If you use too much it will. Water soluble TD works the best for this application.
