Hi Mary –
Yes, any dyes that are FD&C based can stain the skin. However, with regards to dyed wool, I’ve been felting soap for years though and have never had a soap stain my skin.
We dye wool with Labcolors on a pretty consistent basis and I’ve never seen that wool bleed either so I wonder if the wool that you’ve heard of staining was just really oversaturated with dye?
Hi. I am hoping you can give me some advice. I am very new at soap making and I have been doing some research on line for project ideas. I have come across soap felting, however, I have read some articles where the dye from the felt caused staining on the skin. Have you ever experienced soap felting? How do you feel about it? I would really appreciate any advice you could give. Thank you for your time. Please mail me at [email protected]. Mary
I actually met the cool sisters at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn this past summer. The products are great and they have one of the cutest soap packaging I have ever seen.
