Well, as far as I know, for only the first recipe, palm is not a good one in conditioning, it only gives fluffy and lasting lather and give the bar the good hardness. Castor and coconut is good for conditioning but the level was low, so I think that's why. I have my first batch with 30%palm...

Wow these soap look adorable. I also use the powdered pigments, and the problem is still there. And it seem like here is the only place that I can find answer for my question :( I checked and my pigment was oil solube but the shop said on their site that I should mix the pigment in either oil...

Thanks a lot. I will have to try experimenting then. Because I dont even know what type of colour they sell over here. All that written on label was "brown pigment", "10gr", "imported from the US". It's imported (as they claimed) from the US but there is no brand name. I tried sending the mail...

They are oil soluble. I tried to put them in water and oil and then mix. After a while, in the water cup, the grain was deposited. When I added the pigment I also mixed it in oil first.

Oh >.< I'm sorry for my mistake, I meant I use half of the 1ml spoon one, not the 5ml one and it still bleed :(

Can I do the swirl using that pigment ratio? As I understand, the daker the color is , the less I need to use, right? I will try doing as your advice for my next batch (maybe tomorrow). Thank you so much! <3

Oh sorry for forgetting to mention about that. My batch was 500gram and I use half spoon (of the 5ml measure spoon) for it.

I have experimented "cosmetic pigment" from the local shop that the shop claim "non-bleeding" (believe me you hardly can find them in Moscow). After unmold and cut, and let cure for 2 weeks I try washing my hands with a small piece of soap and the color run under water so badly. After a week...

I made an yolk soap yesterday and here is the picture. The bar in the middle has a dark spot, it's actually green and when I poke it, there's nothing like weird powder or something, it's just a spot. I freak out when I saw the grain (that i have never experimented before), and the eggy...

I had this problem also with my 2nd batch. I covered my mold with a towel. The next day I opened it, tending to cut into bar but some part in the bottle of the mold was still "wet" and had a transparent look. I thought it wasnt ok to cut so I put it back and covered it with towel again. The next...

Can I ask a question here? Why cant we use glass to mix lye solution? I always use glass measuring cup from Pyrex :(
