Today we are using a selection of all natural plant based colourants and clays to try and create a rainbow design soap to showcase the spectrum of colours that you can create using only natural colourants.
The actual finished bar was not a stereotypical rainbow, however, it did showcase the natural colourants and gives you an idea of the wide range of colours that can be created naturally without the need for micas or oxides.
Follow our cold process recipe and tutorial for details on how you can make this at home!
Our soaps are all palm oil free and this one is vegan friendly too.

Water 220g
