Just wondering if anybody knows whether it's OK to use cochineal to colour soap. I'm thinking of making a rose soap and would like it coloured pale pink. Any suggestions? Also wondering how many grams of Gina's purple powder to add to a batch to get a pale purple soap. Do I mix it in a bit of olive oil before I add it?
