Other organic colorants

Love all these replies! What happens if you put an avocado in soap? Is that any different than avocado butter??

I think avocado butter is just avocado oil mixed with other stuff to make a butter consistency. As for avocado soap, I've seen some around - there was someone recently but I don't remember who - it does not make a very noticeable green colored soap

Brazilian rose clay and yellow clay both make beautiful soap.

My avocado puree soap below - the top layer contained avocado puree and the pencil line is papaya seed powder. I do like the color as it's kind of olive green.

I rarely use "natural" colorants, but I love the results I get from clays, spinach powder, and cocoa powder. For brown, I also use instant coffee. I make a soap called "Two Brewskis" that is half coffee, half beer. I used freshly brewed coffee the first batch, but realized that the instant coffee worked just as well.

I love adding dragonfruit powder to my smoothies so they turn bright pink. Thought I'd try adding it to clear melt and pour soap base. Stayed a very dark pink for a few hours and the next day it was brown. So it doesn't color soap, just food!

Coloring soap is all about being stable in the high pH that lye creates.
