When we want to embellish our creations we can paint them with paints specifically designed for soaps. Here at Saponification Creations we make our own paints using the same colorants we use to color our soaps. As paints, they can be completely different as they are in the body of the soap. When the soaps are exposed to water, the paint will wash away and reveal the base soap below. Painting allows for metallic appearances, glitter and diamond dust effects that can't be achieved in a pour. Painting can also provide detail and shading that can not be achieved in a poured soap. As with many paints, they can often be applied with a brush or sprayed on for different effects. Painting can also hide a multitude of sins when things don't turn out as planned.
Below are several examples where we've added soap paint to some of our creations.
