Alkanet and Ylang Ylang

I haven't done Alkanet root coloring in a while.  I made a simple soap with lard and lanolin with the scent of Ylang Ylang and Palmarosa essential oils.


You can see a big difference in color from first pour to full gel.  It usually takes a few days until the purple really shows through, it's all based on pH.  I may have to make a new infusion of alkanet since the one I had been around for a little while in my fridge.  Here's hoping.  If not.....try, try again!
