Hi Rebecca and Gina  - I've just looked on the Aromatics & More website and see 
the ultramarines.  Before buying them I just want to confirm that these work OK 
with the cold process method.

I used the Violet Dye (oil based colourant) from the Soapcraft range this 
morning but was alarmed at the hard luridness of the colour so only about a 
gram went in my mix instead of two.  I've just had a peep at it and I think 
there are going to be blue speckles in a whiteish/grey looking soap which is 
not as bad as the grey that I thought may result.

Thanks very much for all the help.  It's great.  

Jenny
