Today's soap is a real beauty! We are colouring the soap using only natural Indigo root powder, no mica's and no oxide's, this is as natural as they come!
We are creating two different shades of blue using small amounts of the indigo powder and using these to colour portions of our cold process soap. We then use a drop swirl technique to create a pretty design in the soap. Finally, we topped it with dried Cornflower petals, which perfectly compliment the indigo shades.
Our soaps are all palm oil free and this one is vegan friendly too.
The ingredients we used for this soap are as follows:
Water 220g
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) 109g
Olive Oil 340g
Coconut Oil 184g
Shea Butter 75g
Cocoa Butter 36g
Castor Oil 57g
Sweet Almond Oil 99g
Indigo Root Powder 1tsp
Cornflower Petals a handful for decoration

This is a beautiful and classy soap. Is this indigo dye or indigo powder like you said in the intro??

Thank you :-) It is Indigo powder - I meant to use indigo dye, but picked up the wrong packet and didn't realise until the end of the making process, which is why I mistakenly referred to it is indigo dye during the making part of the video!

The photo looks blue not grayish like it is during the video. Does this indigo powder colorant change to a bluer color as it cures? Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations and recipes.

Hi Barbara, the colour does change and develop as it cures and I also think that the camera doesn't always record and show the best colour at all times - it definitely has a greyer tint to it on the video footage as opposed to how it looked in real life.

Hi Cee, you were too quick for me! I have just answered your question on my other video, but in case you miss it, we purchase our Indigo root powder from "The Crafter's Shop" online here in the UK :-)

Can you use any caustic soda/sodium hydroxide to make soap?

@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Maria, In theory yes, as long as it is pure and hasn't had anything added to it. We purchase ours from a dedicated soap making store that sells many cosmetic ingredients but I do know of people who purchase from hardware stores.
