Soapberry Liquid
I would like to remove the organic matter colour/dye from my soapberry/soapnut liquid. Any suggestions for the processes I would need to take, or a chemical that would beach the colour out (preferably a non-toxic organic chemical).
Many thanks in advance

I think you need to consult a local expert and provide a sample. For instance, what is the nature of the colour? Is it a suspended solid (pigment) that might be filtered out, or is it a dye? You could try exposing it to ultra violet light (sunlight) since many dyes fade rapidly in sunlight, especially natural colours.

Any oxidizer will change your formula and ruin or change significantly your product. Maybe an UV lamp?. There are other methods, but I doubt you want to add bacteria in your soap

You could try mixing and heating with activated carbon and then filtering.

Thank you very much for your comments. I’ll do some experimenting

Yeah. Activated Carbon should do the thing.
