Added quite a few to my wishlist! Thanks for the link. I do love when I use natural ingredients to color my soaps...

I've done my own orange 'powder' and it's wonderful!

I'm not seeing any photos of CP soap results, just MP. Am I missing them?

Oh, Marylou, you are SO correct! Thanks for the head's up!

My bad. I didn't have my 2nd cup of coffee this morning before posting.

That's rather disappointing actually. I just edited my original post to delete that part.

That is a bummer!! They all say they are not CP stable too, except for the clays.

I think that just means the color will morph in CP.

I just looked at the Q & A for Alfalfa Powder. Someone used it to color CP. It came out a pretty green but a month later it was yellow. Speaking from my experience, this is typical of botanicals used to color CP.

Yes, I’ve seen some examples of this as well! I’ve had good luck with turmeric and orange peel powder for orange, and matcha powder for green.

When I used alfalfa powder in soap it was as if I had not added any colorant at all.

I love Sandalwood powder! It is purported for medicinal and spiritual benefits! Thank you for sharing this
