It’s amazing how something. Little can be quite large in a soap - like poppy seeds can be very abrasive, and I love scrubby bars, but I have to be sparse.

Thank you!! I think your feedback is exactly right - I dont mind the colour...or even the pattern so much- but the oatmeal seems sooo big - although I ground the heck out of it. Well, I am not going to rebatch, it just won’t be my favourite. I have a vita mix, I will Run my oatmeal through that...

Sigh....I don’t like the colour .....olive oil 65%, coconut oil 35%, 48 oz oil, 5% superfat, 33% lye. I used pink clay, for the colour, and ground oatmeal is the Bumps...did an attempt At a swirl, pouring down the side of a pitcher.....1.5oz of EO, eucalyptus, sweet orange....lemon grass and...

Those are all so beautiful!

I hate waiting to in Mold soap - but I love the surprise when I see what Comes out of the first few cuts! That is a beautiful soap!

That’s very pretty , I haven’t made anything like that before!

That looks so rich and beautiful! Good for you

Did you use green tea EO, or actual green tea in the soap? I wonder if it was the gel phase that lightened the soap?

I checked the bees about 3’weeks ago and there was a small but okay hive ball in the lower deep! Now after a recent cold snap only a handful, I may have to replace them tho spring - I’m really not too sure! How did your lavender poppy seed soap turn out - lavender is my fav!

I wondered in CP soaps i am using 48oz oils in total, with a 6%super fat, and I think the soap calc usually give me fragrance at 42 grams......I find the fragrance is stronger when I use this amount .....but the EO scents fade so much during curing - peppermint seems definitely to last.....other...

I have the same question about packaging - I want to be eco friendly, and so many people want to avoid plastic - but I only use EO’s in my soaps - and I find the scent often so mild.....that I think plastic wrap is the only way after curing to preserve their scent....What did you end up using...

Yes lesson learned in this batch!

Thank you.....I haven’t had difficulty in other batches...mind you sometimes I use water - I’m going to review my notes.....I’ll try mixing in water even a couple hours before making the soap....thanks!

Thanks for the input - I cut a bar in half - white powder spots also in the Middle. I poured my colors down the side of a pitcher as a swirl method I dissolve my white clay in my essential oil and used that in the plain soap batter.....must have been some small lumps....the soap is almost 3...

The island is beautiful - we are lucky!!

hi i don’t what TD is? Relatively new to soap making, and don’t use many things for colour - I did use some Kaolin clay in the soap batter, 2 tsp diluted in small amount water....like 1 tbsp, and for colors inised activated charcoal in base, green clay 2 tsp diluted in distilled water, and I...

Okay not the best picture - but in the bottom soap on the right.....in the swirl - the white as been really showing up a seeming like chalk or powder. I have not seen any of my soaps before - and didn't show until it had cured for a few days. I don't know what it is - it doesn't seem like it...

Hi, I joined the forum recently, but hadn't put an intro yet. I took my first soap lessons a few years ago, and was not bitten by any sort of soap fever until the last year or so......I decided to try it for myself and had no idea it could be so addictive! poor hubby - the whole house smells...

google!

I thought about donating soap to shelters....but its so expensive to make some of the soaps - I can't afford to make as much as I would like!
