	"A little goes a long way"
COMMENTS: I bought this for colorant in cold process and cpop. I used a little less than a tsp for 4lbs of oils. With cp it's a muted chocolate with dark specs and with cpop it's a beautiful deep brown color. I love that is adds exfoliating qualities to the finished soap.

"Excellent natural colorant! "

COMMENTS: I love this natural colorant for my CP soaps. I use it often for soaps such as Coffee, Gingerbread Soap, or anything that needs a "brown" colorant. I prefer natural colorants so this will fit the bill. Great product and all natural...try it! Highly recommmend if looking for a brown natural colorant for soap.
