Using food coloring

[musmar.firas]

Hi
i tried to color the soap prepared in cold process using the red food coloring.
when I use the soap the color is diluted with water and water become red.
what wrong did I do? or is it using food coloring is not an option in soap making?

Food coloring should not be used in soap. Some have tried with varied results but there is always the chance it will stain or bleed or more likely morph. Use colorants, micas, oxides etc that are made for soap making from reliable companies. You'll have better reliable results.

Also, since you're new here please hop on over to the introduction forum and tell us a bit about yourself. Welcome!!!

I agree, food coloring was not made to use in soap, especially CP and HP soap. Instead, you need to research what mica, oxides and natural colorants that will withstand the saponification process.
