Description
- Use rate in cold & hot process soaps: 1 teaspoon per pound of oils.
- Use rate in melt & pour soaps: .5 teaspoons per pound of base.
~ 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!

This is the first indigo I've tried. I'm still playing around with it, getting used to how it performs. So far I'm really happy with it!
I use this in my moisture bars perfect color
Was looking for a blue gray color that was natural...and here it is! Made a beautiful Taiwan swirl design with it and have plans to use more of it. The color is like a battleship gray...hard to recreate.
A wonderful indigo. Strong and true.
A beautiful blue from rich to soft depending on the amount. Natural and non morphing.
