August 2, 2008
I made a batch of soap using sandlewood powder for color yesterday. Now, I picked up what was labelled as red sandlewood at a store here in Minneapolis. I didn't know what properties it would bring to my soap, if any, so I did some research and learned that it produces a nice purple color. Well, something isn't right.

Someone asked me what the dark area on the top of the soap is. It is just a shadow. I don't know how to take pictures very well.
I like that it "didn't" turn purple. I think that sandalwood should be brown, and the swirls look delicious!

I don't know why, but am very glad it didn't turn purple. I think sandalwood should be brown, and your soap looks delicious!

I don't know about the color, but your swirl looks great!
Thank you ladies :)
Sandlewood does turn a purplish over time, it takes a while though. And really, it's kind of a dark brown with purple overtones anyway, not like you'd look at it and think "purple" anyway.
