Herbs for Colorants Soap Dyeing

We love herbs! For color, for healing, for dying fabrics and cooking. If an herb can be safely ingested, it can be used as a colorant for soap. Usually, the finer the herb is ground, the better. But feel free to experiment. Herbs can be added at trace, the warm oils, the lye bath and sprinkled on the soap after it's in the mold. Have Fun!
