Natural Colorants in Soap Gallery

By , About.com Guide

Just because the colorants you're using in your soap making are natural, doesn't mean they can't be gorgeous - as is evidenced by this collection of photos of soaps from the 2010 Lone Star Soap & Toiletries' Soapmaker's Seminar. A group of soap makers each chose a colorant and made a small batch using the same recipe blend of palm, olive and coconut oils.

Here are photos of the soaps, with notes from the soapmakers as to how much of each colorant they used, and when it was added.
