You can try chlorophyl or spirulina, but over time they will oxidize and turn brown. Your next best thing would be green oxide, but it's not natural.

I use french green clay. It is not a bright green though... it is more earthy. I know it turns out kind of greyish for some people, but the green clay I use seems to stay green in the soap.

I tried hemp seed oil once and and it seep like crazy at gel. I'm assuming you have good luck with it since you're using it for coloring?

You're welcome Tammy.
The green clay has the most staying power, but you won't get a bright green from it.

I use spirulina for my green in soap. It is a very pale color and kind of translucent. I have soap that is three years old and the color has faded a lot, but it's still green and not brown. I tend to see the change in about 6 months.
