Looking for a blood red color

[angelz921]

I am looking for a blood red color for M&P Glycerin soap. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Are you going for the dark blood red? Also, will you be using it for transparent soap or solid?

Natures Garden has a red oxide that is pretty dark, but I think it would be even darker if you mixed a little brown oxide with it.

But if you're just mixing it in white mp, it will not turn the dark red you're looking for. Mix it with clear mp to a little darker than what you're looking for, then add just enough white mp to make it nontransparent.

Yes it's going in clear

I'll check out Nature's Garden and see what they have. I am looking for that bright red color.

Thanks so much for the reply.

Hi,

Although I have not tried this myself,
I think that it may be Maddar Root and
Rose Hips that can produce red colors
naturally, if desired.

I will hopefully be experimenting with
these myself in the near future!

I use this
http://www.goplanetearth.com/colors_other.html (the tomato red)
it produces a true bright red in clear m&p that doesn't bleed.
If I wanted it blood red, I'd add a little red oxide or burgundy mica to it.
