This video shows how to use paprika and annatto infusions to make a 100% natural cold process soap, including how to make a long orange embed from natural soap dough.
At the end of the video, I discuss how, if you have to follow UK (& EU regulations at this time) you can calculate your recipe to fit your cosmetic assessments.
Please note some soapmakers in the UK have less restrictive assessments than are currently available. These are sometimes known as 'Pre 2013' assessments, where soapmakers who were established before 2013 were able to get assessments that allow flexibility on the colors fragrances additives etc that they can put into their soaps. The UK soapmakers on KZfaq that I know of that have this more flexible assessment are Karen at Eden's Secret and Tiggy at Future Primitive. There may be others that I'm not aware of, so if you see these ladies making soap that doesn't seem to fit the regulations I discuss in this video, that is because they are lucky enough to have more flexible assessments. Unfortunately, there will also be other UK soapmakers that either don't know about the rules or don't care and just ignore them anyway.

Disclaimer
Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.
