CP Soap Use Rate | 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils - More or less can be added to achieve your desired color. These usage rates are recommended for no colored lather. |

Testing Notes | 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! |

Beautiful color!!!
Very nice blue, also you can make light gray if you use less amount.
Just a pinch goes loooong way of vibrat color.
I love this Indigo powder, you get better color when you add it to your lye water. Works well in cp soap.
Used 1 tsp PPO added directly to the soap, resulting in a dark blue/gray color. I like it a lot. Will be trying an ombré soon with it as well.
The outer edges of my soap discolored to a greyish/pink color. I have no idea what happened but it actually works with the pretty blue I got from the indigo in my CP soap. I'm curious to try again and see if I get the same results.
