So the test results are in.
First, i mixed some of the Crown Blue with some vinegar, and it fizzed, indicating that it does quite probably contain sodium carbo..i mean BIcarbonate @DeeAnna.
After that i powderized some of it in my mini mortar and pestle.
After checking roughly the amount needed, i dispersed 1/8th of a teaspon in a pound of coconut oil.
I then added lye and stickblended it.
The result is a faint-blue coloured soap (just what i wanted).
Only thing that kinda worries me are the very tiny blue specks (not visible on the fotos that i took with a potato).
Maybe next time i will put the colorant in the lye solution.
I will keep track and keep you posted.
