In this video tutorial, we will learn how to make cold process soap at home using natural colorants.
The botanical we are using will naturally colour the soap a gorgeous deep purple and online many recipes we will not be using alkanet for the colorant but rather using another soapmaking gem known as Madder root. Madder root creates a beautiful array of color shades from pale pink to a deep purple and we will explain the different ways you can achieve great results in your own handmade soap. If you love making soaps with herbs and botanicals, you will love this soap base recipe!

Lovely video..I have used it in an infused oil and also added powder to the oils.This gave me pink tones.

Glad you enjoyed it. I find it very much depends on where you buy the powder from and the variety they sell as they can be very different.

I love that!!! I need to order some. I’ve used Himalayan rhubarb powder which is a yellowish color but it turns the soap a beautiful red and same thing applies depending on how you add it depends on how vibrant the color is

This is Rubia cardifolia (Indian Madder Root), also known as manjistha and has some medicinal properties. I have used Rubia tinctorum (rose madder/common madder or dyer's madder) root chunks, which I prefer to the powdered form.

@AannshaJones 9 ай бұрын

Cool, but how many of the 'medicinal' properties survive the saponification process?, thanks

@Erica-yr3gf Жыл бұрын

I made this soap. Absolutely beautiful, however the powder I bought on Amazon ( we don’t have wanky weaver in USA) for 500 gr soap, I had to use about 15 gr powder. First I used 5 gr, turned out light mauve, 10 gr, darker mauve, 15 gr just like yours. It’s beautiful. I wonder how the color will change over time. Lighter or darker? Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻❤️

I've used madder root and also Himalayan rhubarb. The rhubarb gives a stronger and more light fixed colour, but the madder is still beautiful

Very pretty color Sara!! I dig it! I bought madder root powder from Brambleberry & it is more red/pink. I prefer yours. Well done!! Nice video! May I ask what you scented it with?

you will normally get some bleeding at high concentrations of any colour but it's not been a problem for me to date with this one

I wish I could get that deep purple color. My mistake could be that I didn't add at trace, I added to the oils before the lye (hot process)

Are you using Rubia cardifolia (Indian Madder Root) or Rubia tinctoria ? I have used tinctoria and got a nice red and pink but not purple.

Hi Christy, this is rubia tictoria not the Indian madder

How much of the madder root do you need to add to get the purple color? I got a red color last time I used madder root powder. How much for a 50 oz batch?

@SoapSchoolUK Жыл бұрын

I have done two videos with it so you will be able to see the difference between the amounts used but you need a fair amount for a strong purple

Hi there, another soaper that I watch said it's necessary to melt the entire container of palm oil and stir it because the stearic acid settles to the bottom. I'm wondering, are you using no-stir palm oil (hydrogenated?) or do you disagree that we should melt it? Thanks

@SoapSchoolUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Elaine, I have not heard that and I have never done that myself. If that were the case you would want to do it for all solid fats. Go with what you feel works best for you :)
