Tried and Tested
As I thought about the approach of the 30 year anniversary since I began making Cold Process Soap, it seemed the right time to begin formulating our own line of specialty Artisan Fragrances. I used the highest quality Bramble Berry Fragrances since before we began supplying ingredients to soapers in 2002. It was then a natural progression to request to represent Bramble Berry in Australia as we were so impressed with their products.

Working with our Natural Indigo Powder
Indigo is one of the few natural botanicals that actually stays blue in Cold Process Soap. Although you can achieve a bluish colour from Alkanet root, it is very unstable in the high pH environment of Cold Process Soap and is likely to produce a grey or maroon coloured soap.
