Teach Soap

I experienced my first outdoor event today and the sun just completely took out some of the colors in my melt and pour soaps. Are there any peticular colorants that I can use that won't bleach out??? I realize now that a cover is in order when I do the outside events from now on. Also, I wrap them nice and tight in plastic wrap and then tape them, then my labels are on top of that. Today while in the sun I notice some of them that have space between the soap and the plastic that comdensation was going on so I took them out of the sun and put them away until they came back to normal. Was that from the glycerin in the soap and the humidity? If so, what can I do about that problem? It was just a disasterous day because of the sun! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated so thank you in advance! I tried to load a photo, its 25kb but it's saying it's too big so.........

Colors will fade in sunlight. I suggest you get a cover for your table. If it's humid where you are, you might want to consider a cooler with ice. Keep most soaps in there and just leave some on the table for people to see. Some people have had good luck with reusable ice packs. They were wrapped in paper inside ziploc bags strategically placed under the tablecloth to keep their soaps cool.

Is melting also a problem for CP soap, or is it just with MP?

If it really bothers you, you could use a UV Inhibitor, a skin safe one of course.

Thank you everyone for your replies!! Soapbuddy, I will surely try the cooler advice, it's funny I told a friend of mine that I wish I cold keep them in a cooler, but I will definitely try what you said. Answer to thepomseed....I don't know why my soaps didn't melt, maybe it wasn't quite hot enough.
