Good Color

— Kristy (5/5)

pretty color

"Makes a very pretty burgundy/red color when used in hot process soap. Doesn't have a scent that transfer to soap. Very fun to use."

— Amanda (5/5)

Awesome natural colorant

"Once I tried madder root to color my soaps, I was hooked. It produces such a lovely pink in lower concentrations added directly to the soap. I have since infused it in oil and am wanting to try it in lotion as well. If added directly to soap, it will have a little grittiness to it, but nothing to worry about."

— Liz (5/5)

Really nice color

"I purchased this colorant when I got tired of getting colored bubbles with mica's. My soap came out a very nice pinkish color. It blended nicely into my raw soap. My hand blender easily took care of any clumps. You get a good amount for the price, too. I would most definitely purchase again. :)"

Q&A

Is this appropriate for use in bath fizzies? I see a couple of reviewers list that they've used it in bath bombs, but I want to make sure it won't stain bath tubs before I give it a try! :-) Thanks!: We do have a picture of this product in a bath fizzie. When you go to madder root powder, click on "Images" which is under the picture of the powder. The last photo will show this in a bath fizzy. The color is not very bright and we do not think it will stain the tub. You might try adding some powder to a sink full of water to see what happens.
I used this in cold process soap and it left a slightly lighter swirl towards the surface of the soap. The very same thing happened to a friend. Is this normal or was it something I did?: Without seeing your finished product I am afraid that we are stumped! If you would like to send pictures to orders@wholesalesuppliesplus.com we would be happy to look into this matter for you.
Would this work well for a red / pink colored blush?: Yes I believe so. Beet root powder works great too
can this be used in lip balm?: Because Maddar Root Powder is not recommended for leave on products we do not suggest using it in lip balm
How much madder root powder should I add for a 2lb batch of CP soap, and should I add it directly to my batch at trace, or disperse it in oil?: I added one tablespoon of madder root powder to approx. 2-2.5 lbs of cold process soap and it turned a very deep, almost dark pink.
