Guest teacher Kandra Churchwell of Soapy Friends shares how to effectively use plant-based colorants in cold process soap! Using natural colorants does not mean you have to create dull, earth toned soaps in varying shades of brown. Find out how you can create an entire rainbow of color in this introductory tutorial! Plant-based colors tend to fade over time in soap because they are made from nature, but Kandra has unlocked the secret to prolonging the color for several years. (This tutorial will give you everything you need to get started. If you require indepth details about each colorant and technique, see Kandra’s full master class. She receives a portion of the sales from this tutorial.)
