Tracy's Research So Far . . .
Additional Information and Research Projects . . . Here goes, this is what I have so far. I'll be doing more later on as I have more time.
I plan to do much much more, I am always researching. I am going to search all over the net to find, compile, and combine all of the information
I can, to make the largest lists ever made (by a novice like myself), for the following research information. Also included below are
other research projects I plan to work on in the future. If anyone happens to read this, please, please, feel free to contribute to my research project.
Feel free to email me information and links. I will compile all info into one file so we can share with whom ever would like to use it.

Soap Making Resource .com Supplies, Tutorials, Resources, Advice Information, Hints, Tips, Newsletter, Blog http://www.soap-making-resource.com Link to the Page with Full Article and More Info http://www.soap-making-resource.com/soap-making-dye.html This page Explains, Defines, Etc all about Colorants. What they are, and what your options are when choosing what type of colorant to use when making soap or other bath and body products. Below, I have partially copied what was on that ONE page. ------------------------------------ The types of soap making dye that are used today vary greatly amongst soap makers. The information here discusses in detail the four main types: FD&C dyes, pigments, micas and natural colorants. Some soap makers prefer the completely natural approach, while others don't mind using synthetic ingredients in order to achieve their desired color. It's really up to you! Many new soap makers probably don't realize the possibilities available with natural colorants. Synthetic dyes certainly do not need to be used in order to achieve a beautiful product. Natural Colorants : can be produced with a variety of herbs, spices, clays etc. (see list of natural colorants on your left) FD and C Colorants : are used as a soap dye by some crafters. They are produced in a lab synthetically. FD and C stands for food, drug and cosmetic act. Each dye usually has a number associated with it like yellow #5, Green #8, Red #40 etc. These colorants are very popular in the food industry and can be found in many processed goods. FD and C colorants have a very wide range of colors available that come in both powdered and liquid form. They are relatively inexpensive adding very little to your cost per bar. In soap making they are mainly used in melt and pour soaps as they are not very stable for cold process soap making. Just be aware that FD and C colorants do tend to bleed! Soap Making Pigments : include both ultramarines and oxides. Although many pigments were once taken naturally from the earth, they are now replicated synthetically in a lab for consistency and safety. This was enforced by the FDA because when mined naturally, these pigments also included some toxic materials that the FDA deemed as unsafe. Ultramarines and oxides are very stable in soap making and can be used in pretty much all soap making processes including melt and pour, cold process and hot process. They are quite inexpensive and come in a large variety of colors. Pigments are probably the best synthetic color source for swirls as they will not bleed at all. Just make sure that you mix the colorant into your batch thoroughly. They can clump in one spot if you're not careful! Micas : are used as a soap making dye in cold process, hot process and melt and pour soaps. Not all micas, however, are stable in cold process and hot process soap making; so tests should be performed before large amounts of ingredients are committed. All mica colorants have a glittering effect to them when the proper lighting is present. This is best seen in soaps made with a clear melt and pour base. Micas are available in a large variety of colors. They, unfortunately, are not completely natural as synthetic colorants are often used to coat the mica and give it its hue. They are very easy to use in soap making as you don't have to worry about clumping like you do with pigments. Unfortunately, they are a little more expensive then other soap making dyes out there as substantial amounts need to be used per batch. |
