I learned this technique years ago completely by accident. It was my first indigo powder oil infusion, and it turned out really weak (much lighter than the one in this video). I'd never used indigo before, so I thought maybe the pink would turn blue during saponification. Nope. 😂 Also, I recently learned (from a very kind subscriber - thank you!) that indigo comes from the leaves of the plant NOT the root, so I apologize for referring to it incorrectly in ALL of my videos until now. 🤦🏻♀️😂
I also wanted to mention that I’ve never had any issues with the pink or blue fading. After the soaps dry for about 4 weeks, I store them in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
Thanks so much for watching! -Holly :)
Q
You are so amazing
I loved this, fascinating. I'm a real infusion shaker, so seeing that colour without shaking was great, oooh I want to have a go now
I can't wait to see your video on it! :)
Thank you so much, Lisa! I hope it works for you! :)
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo qui m'a fait découvrir l'infusion dans l'huile 👍 je vais étudier ça 👏👏
WOW.. Holly and Lisa 🩵🩷💚. LOVE YOU BOTH, Thank you for sharing your amazing video
The video quality is on the higher side.... So perfect
Didn’t know that indigo powder infuse oil can get such a wonderful pink color! Thanks for sharing!
This is fascinating! I loved seeing how 2 completely different effects could be obtained with a single oil infusion. Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful, love them both
Thank you for being so thorough. Fantastic video.
Wow! You’re a great teacher. Thanks for all you do.
STUNNING! This is my next soap! Thank you so much for sharing!
Such beautiful, soothing colours. Thanks for such a detailed video.
Your soap always looks so smooth and beautiful. 💙
You set the standard for the soapmaking, video quality, content..... All in one. Love your videos
Aww, thank you so much!
Thank you for putting this video together! I found it extremely helpful.
Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your videos
This is amazing. Never knew this could happen. Thanks for sharing.
I love the gentle texture on the top of your soap! I'll have to try that the next time I get my soap stuff out. We just moved so it'll be a minute.
Holly…you are amazing! I’m grateful that you show and share so much of your soap making knowledge! I’m need to soap making but you have inspired me to have fun and confidence in trying new things.
I came across your UA-cam as I was searching soap making, I have adapted as therapy for my healing recovery for 3 orthopedic surgeries within 17 months…I have falling in Love with soap making and it helps my kids sensitive skin and skin related conditions.
Also Thank You for sharing all that you use and I will be using your Amazon Affiliate links to purchase a lot of much needed items!

Your soap is always has smooth texture 😍
Lookie there nature at its finest! Thank you for sharing I appreciate you and your artistry.
That's a gorgeous naturally coloured soap. Thank you for sharing this .never knew that indigo can be used to get pink colour. I normally use madder root powder, but will try making with indigo infusion next time.
Thank you Holly, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this vid ….the content was “spot on” for me as I want to use more plant material to include in my soaps for both color and benefits …
Beautiful soaps Holly, thank you for posting! x
Thank you so much, Linda!
This was such an interesting video showing the two colours without any extra ingredients but getting two colours. I've not tried indigo powder before.
Those are such beautiful colors. I love watching your soap videos.
Thank you and thank you so much for watching them!!
Wow that's so awesome love this method.
I had never seen a pink from indigo before, thanks for sharing!
I’m making a pink soap soon and I was going to use pink clay but I will try your technique instead. Both soaps are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is simply fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
Just stunning, especially the beautiful pink!
Thank you!
😍😍😍😍 I love the pink soap!
Your soap 🧼 is magic
Wow amazing information,,,, you are sooo kind and generous... Love you very much...
This video was so beautiful in every way, Holly 💕💙 I am consistently impressed by your work. I was wondering how long your editing process takes, because your videos are sooooo professional. These soaps are so beautiful, soft, and pure looking! Take care, Holly 😊
Thank you so much, Shonna! 💕 That's so kind of you to say! I love the editing process, so your comment just made my day. 😊 I have a specific order I follow for every video just to help speed up the editing process. It's always the same: add all the unedited clips to the timeline, write & record voice over, add voice over and music to timeline - cut/edit clips as I go, add text anywhere needed, fix and normalize audio, add subtitles, export. I tend to spread it out and only do a little bit each day, but I could probably get it all done in about 2 or 3 days if I stayed focused. Finding music has become the most difficult part lately...it takes me forever to decide on anything.
Thank you again! 💕
Wow! So cool that indigo powder can create pink soap too! It's amazing how the oil infusion changed colour so quickly and easily just with a little agitation!
This is just what I was looking for! Thank you so much! I love your videos.
Thank you!!
Beautiful soap as always. Thank you.
Thank you!
I really love the pink colored soap! Such a beautiful pink!
Thank you so much, Belinda!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thank you!
Beautiful soaps too ❤️
Absolutely stunning. I love watching and learning from you. I like them both, but the pink is breathe taking… kudos
Thank you so much! The pink is my favorite, too! :)
The link came out really pretty. The blue indigo seems grey but still really pretty
That is amazing! I didn't know this was a possibility. Thank you for this "lesson" ;-)
Wow! What a huge difference it made by not shaking the infused oil jar to create such a stunning natural pink color from the indigo powder infused oil! This is truly magical and eye opening to me! Thank you so much, Holly for sharing!
Thank you so much, Wan-Ting!
Your videos are so beautiful and artistic!!! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Love them! Beautiful ❤️ Iris
Very pretty soap. Looks like it would be gentle but bubbly. Thank you and God bless.
Thank you!
I am laying here sick watching your video and it is helping me to relax. They turned out beautiful
Get well soon
@@tassiegirl1991 thank you I’m feeling a bit better today 😊
Oh, I'm so sorry you were sick, Susan. I hope you're feeling better now!
Thank you for a lovely video. I also love to make infusions. And although I like Indigo, Alkanet is my favorite. I was really pleased by the lovely pink you got for your Indigo. I have never achieved this - but I am going to try your tips.
Thank you for watching, Linda! I hope it works well for you!
You are a soap whisperer! Amazing
Oh thank you!!
Lot’s of love ❤️ and prayers. I feel the same like every other comment in the comments section
This is a really beautiful soap ~~ I love it ~~
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Holly. This was so fascinating to get two colours from the one product. I have a decent jar of indigo and know what I will be trying next week using your recipe to make a batch and see if mine produces pink on top. What a pretty soap clearly demonstrating that gell has occurred. Thank you so much Holly.
How did yours turn out?
They were nice I love it
I love this pink one better, I like blue too, but yes the pink 💗. This was very cool Holly, I would've never thought that one color could make two! I really enjoyed this video and learned something new and pretty, thank you so much, I love all of your videos 🥰, and its so relaxing too. I hope you are doing well. 💕😊
Thank you! Yes, the pink is definitely my favorite, too. I was so surprised the first time I accidentally discovered this technique. I used it in a video a long time ago but didn't go into a lot of detail (my pink impression mat soap), and I've been meaning to share exactly how for so long. Thank you again, and I hope you're doing well! 💕😊
Perfection 😍
Fascinating
What a great video. Your voice is so relaxing
Thank you so much!!
Great vid, and you have a lovely soothing voice.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you sooooooo much for this video!
You're very welcome!
Literally, mind blown! I've always added indigo to my lye water and had no idea it turned the magenta.
Beautiful! I’m curious though how the color of the soaps would’ve looked with no Kaolin clay, although I understand using the clay help the essential oils to last longer in the soap. 😊
Thank you for your generosity in the knowledge you’ve gained and freely share.
@3:49 As a watercolor painter I love the indigo pigment possibly more than any. It is magical. How did you make it magenta?? Could I achieve this w pigment bonded in gum arabic? Thank you Holly! I really love the wide range of color schemes you achieve using natural ingredients. I bet that kitchen is familiar with delicious smells!
BEAUTIFUL👍👍👏👏😁😁 Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
Ur vdos and your description.!!! Innerpeace...
Loved it
Holly I love your videos! I bought some indigo then realized I got the wrong kind, the stuff people use on hair! When I do get some I really want to try your recipe here, it looks so nice! I have a question, are the recipe amounts on the soap calculator for one batch like pink? Then you repeat for the blue? Thanks!! ps. I love how nice your voice sounds, very relaxing.
Plz make a video on understanding Lye Concentration with diff % & it’s effects. TYA ☺️🥰❤️🙏
That's really nice 😍😍
But what are the benefits of this soap and on which type of skin can we use it
Thank you
Lovely to see a soaper actually using herbs for colour, pretty rare. More ethical than Mica, which has human rights/labour problems in certain countries where it is collected.
Linda essas cores 😍. Queria que o vídeo tivesse legenda em português. Pra eu intender melhor. Parabéns
very nice
Hello Holly, thank you for another amazing video!!! Will you be able to do one using honey 🍯?? Efharisto 😊
Nice ☺️
beautiful colors ! It made me want to try my own :) but i think a overheated the oil (i used castor oil) and it didn't turn pink tho :( i love your channel and use it as inspiration
To make the pink soap is the indigo from nurture?
Update: I had some indigo from brambleberry, I made an infusion just like in the video. Put it away in my soaping area, came back 2 days later....I can see the magenta color...amazing....thank you Holly.
Holly luv u for making this great video. I liked your soft pink color 😍. U mixed kaolin instead of TD, may i ask y? Plus I always get confused in case of mixing lye&oils temp. I have noticed that your lye temp is 10 temp lower than oils temp, is this correct? I have read somewhere that lye temp should be 10 digits higher than oils temp. So, which is correct? Plz tell me ASAP, I’m totally a newbie & learning things from u as well. TYA 🥰❤️💐
Very cool video
Thanks!
Podia ter legenda em português, eu amo seus vídeos!!!🌻💜
Y en español plis?♥️
New soaper here and I have a question 🙋🏼♀️
When you’re weighing your oils are you using oz or fluid oz?
My scale has both options
I’ve been a student of soap making thus far and watching as many teachings as possible. I successfully made my first batch but I’m curious about whether to use the oz setting or the fluid oz setting.
Thank you for your beautiful teachings and inspiration
Amazing! Did the color of the blue soap morph? I noticed that the color of the rim was lighter.
Holly I love your video could u maybe in the future do a video of how you make your soap videos I fight trying to do it and then never post them cuz they look bad 😔. Thank in advance
Do they stay them colours after the cuting period? Loving the pink
Thank you so much. You're a great teacher. Since there is indigo powder remaining on the bottom of the mason jar can more oil to the mason jar and hot bathed again or do you need to add more indigo powder?
Oh, thank you! That’s so kind of you to say. I actually tried reusing the indigo by adding more oil and reheating. I was able to get a pink soap, although it was a paler pink. :)
Como que pode o poder da mente faz 3 dias que tô querendo inventar algo usando indico e abro o UA-cam e seu vídeo aprese tando pra mim essa maravilha sou gratissima ao universo a essa sincronicidade gratidão por ensinar de Balneário Camboriu SC Brasil 🇧🇷
Woah! The infusion is an awesome idea! Still pretty new to soap making but I'd love to find ways to make the olive oil, not so yellow, and this seems to be an option maybe? Question though, can we infuse olive oil similarly with titanium dioxide? I have the hardest time getting a true white in my soaps which I reallllllly would love to figure out.
Violet/purple counteracts yellow, blue counteracts orange. For the olive oil yellowness i am using a little bit alkanet root infusion. It will make it whiter ^^
I infused some honeysuckle flowers in grapeseed oil a few months ago. I had strained it, but I just looked at it and there is a residue at the bottom of the jar. Is this a problem if it still smells good and there is no mold? I would love to get your opinion if you have time. Thank you in advance.
is this indigo blue dye same as the one used to dye clothes?
What is the kaolin clay far?
Hi There, You make great tutorials, thank you. I have a question. Unless you live on a farm, why is lard your go-to fat? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I am not Holly, but I can tell you why many of us soapers use lard. First, it is a way to use the entire animal - no sense in throwing out the fat after using the rest of the meat. Second, lard is a very slow-tracing fat, which is a bonus for soapmakers who want to make fancy designs. Third, lard is very inexpensive throughout most of the US. Finally, lard makes wonderful soap. It is extremely gentle on the skin because it has a very low "cleansing" value. All soap will get you clean, but the cleansing number in the soap calculators actually refers to how much oil is stripped off the skin. With its low cleansing number, lard cleans very gently, so it is perfect for people with sensitive skin. HTH!
@@makeit2649 Thank you, for the explanation. I am grateful you took the time. I am sure others will find your words interesting too. Peter
Question. Has anyone made a shampoo bar with this indigo infused oil??? Does it dye blonde hair??
Does anyone ever have color-morphing issues with indigo, or is it just me? I infused cold, over a few months, and prepared soap batter in a way more similar to the blue soap, using it as a colorant instead of replacing all the olive oil in the recipe. When I completed my batch, the color was a dark blue green, and it looked as though it was going to stay that way, but when I cut into the loaf, I was surprised to find that the inside was a bright acid green. About 2 minutes after cutting, the green had oxidized to a less vibrant olive shade. It never did darken fully, but I was still happy with the color.
Curious, I purchased some indigo powder, but the powder is green, it was quite a bit cheaper than the one I bought before which was blue.
I tried researching why some indigo powders are green and some blue, but wasn’t able to find anything helpful.
Hi Holly, you can use the full olive oil measurement in this soap can't you? That would make it a darker blue, or would that be to dark and stain your wash cloth?
I seen a video where the soaper used a 1/4 teaspoon of the indoor in the lye solution and that it wouldn't stain, but was wondering if used all the infused olive oil would stain?
OBS: Não encontrei a receita na calculadora

The blue looks grey to me. If I were to mix more of the indigo powder, would it be a darker more blue?
It is definitely a gray blue. You could try adding more and see if you like the color. However, if I want a darker blue, I use the other method I mention in the video using a more intense, dark indigo powder.
