Teach Soap

Jut looking for some advice on how everyone here colors their soap!

Iv'e been experimenting with "liquid color dispersions/brites", but can never get it right!
For me i'm pretty sure its a heat issue / soap not insulated enough, but every time i end up get a powdered / uneven color, even with swirled soaps! (made the infamous mistake of swirling on top of soap - didn't go throughout the soap lol)

Anyway does anyone else have any similar issues? Are powdered colors/ultramaries/ oxides more reliable for producing an even color?
Still have the rest of the color set to use up....lol - then likely going back to natural soap/uncolored

I would try mixing it with a small amount of glycerin and make a smooth slurry.

Thanks soapbuddy! hmmm could i pre-mix with olive oil if i didn't have any glycerin on me? or should i even be adding colors before reaching trace? been told to add colors at, or slightly before trace, though doesn't seem to be a mixing issue, just powders up massively after its set

If you are making one color soap, you can add mica or oil soluble color directly to your cooled off oils before adding the lye water.
