These soaps are all made using the cold process technique and colored with natural colorants (think Activated Charcoal, Alkanet, Annatto Seed, Calendula, Maddar Root, Paprika, Spirulina, etc). Can you believe some of these designs? I was totally blown away with the quality of entries in this particular Make it Monday contest. To see the name behind the soaps and some of the natural colorants used, check out the Make It Monday Facebook Album. And be sure to check out the winners of the contest here. Of course, everyone is a winner in my book! So cliche to say, I know, but it’s true! Some of these soaps are seriously jaw dropping.
If you’ve just been inspired to start making naturally colored soap (how could you not?) you can get started with an online video, an Infusing E-book or an Infusing Kit! Pssst- there’s another Make it Monday contest going on right now! Check out the details here.
Gorgeous creations! Wow, such talent! How did they get the bright Red color in the fifth row down? I need a natural Red for Christmas soap.
If I recall, that bright reddish-orange is from Paprika-infused oil. You can actually check it out on our Facebook page here:

I’d also try checking out our E-book on naturally infusing herbs, spices, teas and clays where Anne-Marie goes over dozens of natural colorants you can use in your soaps.

Beautiful collection! I also like working with natural colorants. Some of my favorites include adding French green clay and activated charcoal.
Both of which are great natural colorants and give such gorgeous colors (especially the Activated Charcoal, I use it in almost all my soaps)!

That was one of my favorites too! 🙂

Ye gads! Is it any wonder handmade soap sells like hotcakes…with blueberries and whipped cream on top? Who could not be drawn like a magnet to any of these luscious creations?
Ok…time for a late breakfast shower…lol.
Very cool! I am also amazed at the talented soapmakers and their creations.
You and me both! Our Facebook page is a constant feeling of inspiration for me.
There are so many amazing soapers out there, it never fails to impress.
Wow! I want some activated charcoal right now! That black contract in soap looks great! Is it stocked at Brambleberry?
Hi Lisa! We love using the Activated Charcoal, because it gives such a great dark black color. And, yes, it is in stock! 🙂

Oh. My. These are stunning. Each and every one. I love the autumn pie one especially (3rd row, 1st pic) but don’t see that one in the Facebook album…? Would love to see how they did that.
