In the past I’ve tried fresh and frozen Cactus Fruit in soap and the heat turns it brown.
As I’ve been studying natural yarn dyeing, I’ve seen videos of successful vibrant coloring in a cold water dye bath using dehydrated cactus fruit.
I dehydrated some and kept the soap temps as low as I could but it wasn’t low enough.
1- Freshly poured, a little color and the bits were pink
2 - About an hour later
3 - 24 hours after first pic 😞
deep in my heart, I knew there was very little chance that there would be a beautiful vibrant color, but I wanted to give it a try
If anyone has been successful to getting that beautiful, vibrant pink to show up and soap, I would love to know how you did it!
And, these four bars of soap that are scented with a blackberry fragrance and will be mildly exfoliating from the cactus fruit seeds, are available for purchase!
