hi dapan, how long has the alkanet root been infused in oil? my first trial ended up with a purple color which faded out very soon after the soap is made. maybe need to infuse for longer time.
hi joanna, my alkanet root was infused with evoo for 3 weeks. is that too long or too short? supposed to leave for months right?i just checked the soap, it turned into grayish purple color now. oh.my! >_<
um.. may I know where can I get the alkanet root ? and how does it look like ?
ashlee, it's called 紫草. it should be available in 藥材鋪. but i'm not 100% sure. i will take a pix of 紫草 for you, show you tomorrow.
