Cautions
Using scales is recommended for larger batches.
Please do small test batches as some of the colours are unstable in cold process soap.
We recommend dispersing the powders into a small amount of your base first, then add to the remaining product and stir well.
It is a good idea to wear a mask, goggles/glasses and protective clothing/apron as working with volatile powders is messy. Make sure you work in a well-ventilated area.
