Description
- Use rate in cold & hot process soaps: 1 teaspoon per pound of oils.

~ More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. ~
Indigo can be incorporated into soap in many different ways:
- Add the powder directly to soap. This will result in a grayish-blue color.
- Add indigo to hot lye water and let it sit, then add it to soap. This will be darker blue.
- Oil infusion. Add the indigo powder to oils and apply low heat (i.e.crock pot). Let the indigo infuse into the oils for several hours and then add to soap. You may want to strain the oils to ensure you don't get any powder bits in your soaps.
We suggest trying all three methods to see which works best for you!

I have never used indigo powder until now and I am in love. What a beautiful color it came out. And after researching you can play with amount PPO for quite the range!
I was excited to use this powder. I wasn't aware you have to use more than what I put into the soap. I does go to a gray after a while so I know I sure have to use quite a bit more next time!
It's a very nice blue but I wasn't aware I needed to add a lot. It fades to a greyish blue in CP soap.
I have used this indigo powder in many batches of soap and people really like it. I have several wholesale customers who only want me to use natural colorants. This indigo enables me to add a nice blue color to my lineup. The grayish blue color is especially nice for an ocean soap. In my picture the round soap is a salt soap and the rectangle is a cold process soap.
I love this clay because its a hard to find and produces a nice color in my cp soaps, my customers love it.
