I'm going to make a simple bar of soap with rose FO. I'm wondering if there is anything I can use as a natural colourant to make it a creamy or pink colour. It'll be going in a little gift basket with some rose bath bombs (coloured with beetroot) and perhaps an almond bar of soap. I was going to use the beetroot powder, but it's my understanding that this will eventually brown.

I'm using Stephenson's white M&P base. Any help is appreciated :).

Oh also, I got some cling film/saran wrap and had some practice wrapping a bar earlier. Any advice for a nice smooth and professional look? My bars are almost half spheres, so a little hard to wrap around the edges. Thanks for any tips!

A tip someone once gave me was to pull the wrap as tightly as you can around difficult edges/corners, tape it underneath and then give it a gentle blast with a hairdryer - not too close or too hot or it melts! A gentle blast will shrink it slightly. As you do this you could roll the soap onto a rolled towel as it sort of firms the edges in to where you want them!
Hope this helps!

How about some rose clay?

Thanks WinterMoon and PurpleMolly! I will give the hairdrier trick a go on a test bar.
The clay's a great idea. Unfortunately I have to have this done tomorrow, but will look for the clay next time I order supplies.

Thanks again :D

I have no earthly idea why my last post appeared here instead of the thread it was intended for. How odd.

Me neither :shock:. If I remember correctly, I think the same thing happened to someone else recently.
