Cold Process Soap Dyes
FOR THE SOAP MAKERS.
The last place you want industrial dyes is on your skin. That’s why we’ve developed the world’s first line of plant-based pigments specifically for use in cold process soap. Made from roots, leaves, bark, and seeds, our soap dyes are powders that can be dispersed directly into the lye solution or blended into the oil base - no more long infusions or scratchy plant bits in your soap.
Wild Vicuña & Guanaco
THE “GOLD OF THE ANDES”
The world’s most sought-after fiber, wild vicuña is soft as a cloud and finer even than the rarest pashmina. It can only be gathered in small quantities from wild animals which are shorn once a year and then released back into nature. The harvest of vicuña fiber is strictly controlled by conservation laws, and Shepherd Textiles is America’s leading source for authentic, fully traceable vicuña. We import this “gold of the Andes” from fiber mills in Italy and directly from producers in South America.
