Teach Soap

Hi everyone,

I have a friend requesting some soaps to be made for her wedding. She wants me to do a test batch first so she can decide on whether she wants them or not.

The colours she suggested were sage and off white leaning toward ivory....

Can anyone here suggest a colourant that would achieve these colours?

I would try green with a tiniest amount of red for sage. Ivory has a tiny amount of yellow and tiny amount of black.

Snow,

Is she buying these from you? If so just remember that presentation can be very important. What you wrap it in, the label and do not forget the list of ingredients. I have seen alot of ideas for packaging on this forum so be sure to ask if you need ideas.

There are a couple of directions that the color 'sage' commonly goes in one lighter, and one darker. Soapbuddy is spot on with the green with a dash of red for the darker shades of sage. If you had a lighter color in mind, I would recommend chromium hydroxide (green) with a dash of titanium oxide (white) and maybe a dash of red as well depending on how 'warm' you want your color to be.

If you are doing the 'sage' and 'offwhite/ivory' together in one presentation, may I suggest using whatever color of sage you settle on and use that to tweak a white into an off-white? That way they will look all related and stuff.

Best of luck!

I'm yet to try the colours out, but i am doing three soaps, one plain white, one dark sage, and the other will be rich creamy ivory, if i can get these colours right.
