Another set of beautifil soaps! What sort of clay or oxyde did you use to get such a tender blue? I thought blue did not exist as an oxyde. I tried a blue clay that I bought from Gisella Manske. It looks beautiful in the bag, but it loses its colour as it is saponified. ( I once tried it on my face, as a mask, and I turned blue as a smurf! I was actually panicked I would stay blue!!! ) Thank you for all, I learn so much from you!!
this blue is washed blue clay from australia, but its very very pale, so I have added some indigotin....you cought me ;-)
I never tried indigo. I read it made the bubbles blue... I may have a go!!
Indigo (CI 73000) is different from Indigotin (CI 73015)
Indigotin is Food blue1, E 132
it looks nearly like an ultramarine blue, not quite as strong and bright, but realy blue. Indigo blue is darker, a little dull, and it is not all that easy to work with, and to get a nice blue into your soap. Indigotin behaves very well....it does not bleed
the blue clay, Manske sells, is a mixture of kaolin (white clay) and ultramarine blue....
So, I should not lose time trying indigo blue if it is dull and hard to work with. Thank you for your advice! I ordered several new blue micas from U-makeitup, as I saw you advised them on your Pigmente page. This will give me new opportunities for play!
