Blue Indigo Natural Colour – Botanical Pigment for Soap Making
Bring the beauty of nature into your formulations with Blue Indigo Natural Colour, a vibrant plant-based pigment derived from Indigofera tinctoria. This natural blue powder is perfect for colouring cold process soap, offering a rich, earthy hue without the need for synthetic dyes.
Favoured by artisan soap makers, Blue Indigo provides a stunning deep blue shade that can be either smooth and refined or rustic and speckled depending on your desired finish. It's ideal for clean, eco-conscious, and skin-friendly formulations.
How to Use
To get the most vibrant colour from your indigo powder, follow these steps:
- Rehydrate 3 heaped teaspoons of blue indigo powder in 100ml of warm water. Let sit for 24 hours.
- Prepare your lye water as per your recipe.
- Once the lye water is hot, add the hydrated indigo infusion, stirring gently to ensure even pigment distribution.
- For a smooth finish, strain through cheesecloth to remove plant particles. Or leave them in for a naturally speckled look.
This method allows the indigo to fully release its colour, giving you a rich blue tone that holds well through the saponification process.
