RATANJOT ROOT POWDER is a natural botanical that will colour your cold process soap a pale lilac to deep purple and is very similar to Alkanet root powder. The colour perhaps a little lighter.
You can infuse the Ratanjot root powder in oil or stick blend it straight into your soap for a speckled effect, or pop it straight into your lye solution. Remember to gel your soap to obtain the best colour.
I always have a windowsill infusion on the go. As soon as I use one lot I add a more Ratanjot root powder and fill up the jar with olive oil and start again.
As an infusion guide - use 28 gms per 500gms of oils - this will give you a concentrated colour to be used by the tablespoon in soap for colouring.
And remember - the colour of your base oils and scent blend will influence the shade you achieve. Have fun experimenting!
