    Emulsified Sugar Scrub Questions!

    Sorry!! I was looking at your original recipe! You have 2 oz of oil or 1 oz each so 10% each for a total of 20% oils. 😂 I scrolled back too far in the thread. 🤣

    Here you go. Math mostly checks out except the 19.41%'s should be 9.41%.

    It's BBs blue slushy mica. I only own 3 micas so far 🤣 all from BB. Hoping to change that at some point. I'm loving seeing everyones soaps. They are all so pretty! It's gorgeous! I spent years hating multi grain and seed bread not knowing why. Found out last year when I tried to make cookies...

    @ackosel I agree post your pics! It's fun to see what everyone does and the colors they pick. Here's a pic of a batch. Didn't quite get the feathering. Learned I needed a bigger chopstick. Also learned that I like the contrast white brings.

    ENTRY THREAD for September 2024 SMF Challenge - Feathered Mantra Swirl

    From left to right. My 2 tops and the bottom. I used 3 colors since 4 scared me and I was making my dividers out of cardboard. BBs lavender mica, uncolored, and BBs blue slushy mica. I used a variation of Alioop's lard recipe that I've been really enjoying. I left this soap unscented since I...

    Lard Recipe

    That recipe looks just fine. The coconut oil amount is personal preference. I'm one of those that finds it to drying so I prefer to keep my coconut oil at or below 15% If you want a simpler recipe that is more lard based I highly recommend this one by @AliOop. I personally don't like high...

    I'm going to try to cut mine tomorrow. 🤞 Luckily I didn't have any problems with my lye or my soap being too soft. I'm so excited to see your soap @Servant4Christ and @ackosel I hope you find time to make yours! This has been such a fun challenge! I've learned a lot about trace and swirling...

    Why is it that what little patience I do have disappeared while doing this challenge. I just keep wanting to unmold and try another time. @justsomeguy I love how your soap looks!

    I just discovered the difference between trying to feather a 2lb batch vs a1lb batch. I'm gonna need a bigger chopstick... And a little less stick blender action. Oh well guess I have to make more soap 😋
