Which Colorant?

[KristaY]

I love using ultramarine violet oxide but can't get a darker shade of purple with it alone. When I add just a touch of ultramarine blue it brings up to a bright, vivid purple that holds well. Also, I haven't had any wash cloth, skin or shower staining.

Great tip! I've had a hard time getting a darker purple (I seem to always end up with a dark lavender).

I did this same exact thing! I didn't know you couldn't use alcohol with it, my soap has droplets on it where the slcohol had sat.

Just droplets? Mine kind of floated away with the alcohol.

Yes, look at the tops, the soap in the front on the right side shows it.
