A pitch black clay that is great for colouring soaps and swirling (some good man type product potential or black and white themed items.)

Will stain clothing and towels on contact. May stain tubs, especially if used in large concentrations in bath products.

A heavy clay that will settle if not used while in suspension (after stirring).

Experiment with the smallest amount needed in your recipe and work up from there to keep the 'dark side' of working with black clays to a minimum.

Watch how it colours an oil in this short demonstration video.
