When I think of soaps for spring and summer I think of nature and try to use it's bright spring and summer seasonal pallet as an inspiration. The colorants I use in my soaps are all derived from nature, mica's, iron oxides, tin oxides and dioxides. These fantastic colorants are purchased from highly reputable soap companies. This insures that they are skin safe and free of any impurities. These natural colorants are easy to use and they make for interesting soap designs. As I have mentioned before I always try to have a "theme" or color scheme that goes along with the fragrance of the soap.
I also make use of activated charcoal and kaolin clay. Both have wonderful benefits to the skin and provide deep cleaning. Along with the benefits these additives have for the skin they can also color soap. As one would expect, activated charcoal can color soap to be a gray to black color, and kaolin clay turns soap a rusty, pinkish color.
