You could also extract the annatto seeds in lye after removing it from the oil. Annatto has colors that are soluble in strong alkalis. That way you'll get twice the color for your money.

The Sea moss and Dead Sea Mud must have made a very luxurious-feeling soap. I have researched using kelp powder in soap. Did it leave a distinct odor or did it fade with the cure? I know some people are able to compliment the odor with essential oils and fragrance oils. From what I’ve read, rosemary seemed to be the best one to use.

[@iwant2bback]

Such a relaxing video. You are so right about the citric acid. It kills me when people say it lowers the pH. But I just want to say that making separate citric acid solution and adding it directly to the oils will accelerate so much because in there it reacts with the lye! I found that adding to the the lye solution will heat up all the solution like crazy. So i do it there and wait till it cools before adding to the oils.
