m in the midst of finding
natural colorants for my soap.
the only one I could use,
commonly found here is turmeric.
pandan is available but to
get the colour (green/hijau) is tiresome.
m dh tak ingat sangat cemane m wat tahun lepas.
rasa-rasanya cam ni kut -
m potong kasar, campur dengan air dan
blend, pastu perah.
m rasa m nak carik stevia
lah.
kalau ada dalam bentuk
serbuk senang la nak source out kaler hijau.
for your info- the google
search have included stevia as a possible green.
hmm..
note to self and others
reading..
the green from pandan
doesnt last for a year.
that means the soap should
be used within 6 months or less.
not meant to be kept
forever okay..
black/hitam, m dah beli activated
charcoal.
banyak lagi ada. tak abis-abis
lagi ha hitamnya.
purple/ungu/biji remia, is currently an
adventure.
some are using Alkanet,
Ratanjot, Stoneseed/Gromwell.
the search was interesting..
still is, actually.
red sandalwood is too hard
to find and
if I’m not mistaken, will be expensive.
sandalwood ialah cendana,
by the way.
some websites are stating that it can produce a purple/red coloured soaps.
annatto is another natural
colouring and
the local pokok is kesumba.
this could produce the colour orange..
yes, these searches for
natural colouring has gotten me searching for local trees/shrubs/etc.
i have yet to get bunga
telang.
this is for the colour
blue/biru.
if it can be used on soaps.
so far, I’ve read that this
is used to colour our Kelantanese dish, Nasi Kerabu.
paprika for red/orange.
dok ingat paprika tu cili
macam cili biasa yg kering..
rupa-rupanya capsicum.
i don’t really know my way in
the kitchen–cooking-wise,
i have to admit that at least..
;)
still, i have to find
powdered ones.
takkanlah m nak beli the
whole fruit and dry it and blend it myself.
maaf, m rasa m tak serajin tu.
tapi doa-doakanlah m jadi rajin
dan mampu buat kebanyakan perkara sendiri ye,
terima kasih.
hehe
okay, my search for natural
colouring continues..
i still need the physical trees/fruit/flowers.
cant find it yet here.
so if you happen to see some, tell me where so i can come and trim it off..
