Natural Color is the BEST!

I soaked the gromwell root my friend gave me into the olive oil for nearly a month now, and WOW, I've never seen such beautiful purple color in my life. Gromwell root is a type of herbal plant that's been used for skin treatment, such as eczema, promote coagulation, anti-baterial, anti-inflammatory. The purple pigmentation is so strong the whole time I thought I was making dark chocolate. I hope it won't turn my skin to purple when it's ready to use :) This time I also use Japanese green tea as soap base instead of water, green tea will add anti-oxidant property into the soap itself.
