Guessing Game Day 2

 
Someone guessed correctly about what happened to this soap... Brighid's Witch (link?) - lye heavy, but no one has guessed correctly about the natural colour yet.  Once all is revealed, I will publish more about the experiment, the mistake, and the things I have learned...
 
Todays Clue:   I have worked with this natural colour before but NEVER with results anything like this.  This is not the usual colour that results.  I also need to mention that is has evolved and is turning greener...
 
So far the guesses for colour (none correct) have been:
 
Cambrian blue clay
Woad, guessed
Indigo
Methylen blue
Keep the guesses coming!!

Just going out on a limb and guessing Alkanet perhaps-with a weird outcome.

Brighid's Witch said...

Yay for me, got the lye heavy part right (but bad for you, sorry)! So let's try blue-green algae for the natural colorant.

Spirulina?

Hola Jen!!a veces con el jabón pasa como con la vida misma, te da grandes sorpresas, a veces buenas y a veces no tanto, yo creo que ha podido ser el halkanet, o ratanjot, que al contacto con otros aceites o los trocitos de jabón ha cambiado su color, también que se cuartea por falta de agua ,quizás? por usar aceites mas duros? bueno pues a refundirlo seguro que será buenísimo como todo lo que preparas.Besos de ISABEL.

Tierra Verde, You are right!! It was Alkanet or Ratanjot, I can't remember which i had infused but they are the same I think... which reacted to the EOs I used i think. I will post another photo xo Jen

Birgid's Witch, Not blue-green algae but thanks for the guess!! I have used spirulina before but it doesn't hold. It fades quite quickly. Thank you for guessing! xo Jen
