I really would recommend more like 500g as a batch size...when you go too small there is less room for error.

You also might want to try converting your recipe into percentages...this is far easier to work with. It looks like by your quantities that you only are at about 1% fragrance. I use about 2% in my bath bombs and the fragrance is very nice. I am surprised however that the 1% lavender isn't...

Rightly so they're going nuts! The time and effort! This is awesome!

I wouldn't. There's too much unknown. Like what pigments are in the inks, what possible contaminants are in there, if adding NaOH to any of the pigments will cause a bad reaction. Dyes, lakes and natural colorants can fade, but most micas and mineral pigments will not. I would recommend those...

Looks delicious!

Lovely soaps! Is the first one a carrot cake soap?! I've been planning on doing one of those this year.

Sounds like you'll fit in great around here! Welcome!
