I just love these. I had tried them in the past, but didn't have much luck when I mixed into my dry ingredients. This time, I tried mixing it with my Polysorbate 80 and pouring it into my mixture once it is already mixed with my wet ingredients. It preforms beautifully and give me vibrant colors. I love the chart this site gives for how to find the perfect colors. Thanks, Natures Garden!

These dyes are perfect for Goat's Milk M&P Soaps! I started with a different one from a different supplier, and although they did work, I much prefer these.

A drop goes a long way. I use these for MP and my lotions and body washes. Add only a drop at a time, mixes very nice to get the ideal color.
