Brown Soap

As a manufacturer of soap, you will notice that many soaps will naturally turn to different colors. For example, when I added honey to the soap, the soap has become the color of honey. While it is important to you, as it is mine, that your soap is 100% natural, you will be disappointed many soap dyes available. Why? Because they contain the same chemicals used for coloring commercial soaps, ie FD & C colors (FD & C food, medicines and cosmetics). For more information www.greateducationonline.com They are also the ingredients used in food coloring. Some known side effects dye FD & C are:

* FD & C Red # 40 lymphomas and tumors causes
* FD & C Yellow # 5 (used in soaps Dial) that causes allergies, thyroid tumors, lymphomas, chromosomal damage, triggers asthma, urticaria, and hyperactivity
* FD & C Yellow # 6 causes hives, runny nose, nasal congestion, constriction of bronchi, anaphylactic reaction, bruising, allergies and kidney tumors.
* FD & C Green # 3 (used in soap Irish Spring) causes bladder tumors
* FD & C Blue # 2 causes brain tumors

The only real soap colored natural dyes there are seeds of annatto (orange), Alkanet root (magenta), retinol (purple), spiral algae / seaweed (all green), vanilla extract, the coffee, cocoa powder, (all dark brown), red or white wine (both make soap pink), carrot juice (orange), cucumber puree (green), and tomato (Fishing) . For more details www.greatindustrialguide.com These colors certainly fit in the hand milling and can stand in the cold transformation. I also know for sure what beets (red-pink) does not work on the color of soap they are used in processing or cold milling by hand. Turmeric (bright yellow) and paprika (orange) can also be used for dyeing soap with good results.

The colors just a natural soap that I know are made commercially available from TKB Trading, Cranberry Lane, and Sun Feather Natural Soap Co. TKB Trading offers oil-based natural dyes: blue oil-based (in from flowers of gardenia blue), oil-based green (chlorophyll - the substance that causes patches of grass), red oil-based (beetles and "carmine" - it is not vegan), and yellow-based oil (annatto seeds). Be aware that TKB Trading has a $ 20 minimum for orders. Cranberry Lane offers Rating (purple) and annatto seeds (yellow). Sun Feather powder offers natural pigments, which are made of mineral powder and plant material. Their offer includes: yellow ocher brown (brown), the tan white (titanium dioxide), purple (violet ultramarine), earthy green (chromium oxide), earthy yellow (yellow), light blue (ultramarine ), and earthy yellow (Sienna yellow).

In addition, most all colors in soap will fade with time. Ironically, the reds are known for bleeding. mineral pigments (and mica) are more likely to disappear in the light than others. Do not use things that are not made for soaps, cosmetics or food, such as pencils, candle dyes, or paint.
