Sure, DRIED zest can be added. As you can see from Khanjari's soap, the orange and yellow colors remain.

Steph, Are you heating with a double boiler? Are both soaps [white and clear] from the same manufacturer? What about the temperature? If melting with a double boiler, are you using a medium heat setting?

Khanjari, What a great job! Those look like fancy cupcakes! Also, how nice to go to the party to have fun and get important feedback--a total win-win for you! :)

Thanks for clarifying the amount. As you've now learned, 1 capsule is enough. Generally, 1 Tablespoon per pound is the guide for additives. Happy Soaping! :)

They look so real! Did you heat the soap base at a high temperature?

Congratulations on making soap! :) I hope I can answer your question, but first need to know how much soap base you used?

Mountain Rose Herbs has rose RO from China at a reasonable price $63 per 1/8 oz. https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/rose-essential-oil-chinese/profile Eden Botanicals always has wonderful EO's and I've tried the Rose Otto from Turkey as it's slightly less expensive than the...

Glad you label them as being non edible. I've heard and read of way too many stories where people unfortunately take bites of out soap! I like that--I was soapin' you'd be mine. I'm sure you'll get more suggestions about labeling. Right now, all I can think of are really literal ones like...

Danali, Check the shelf life of any fixed/carrier oil you add. Grape seed has a short shelf life of approx. 6 months. Jojoba's shelf life is a lot longer -- about 2 years.

Those are so beautiful! I love the colors and the shape. Hope you label them DO NOT EAT! :)

Danali, Make sure you include your contact information with your sample. Also, label the soap so they know it's your Lavender Shea Butter Soap or whatever it's called. That way they know the name/fragrance/color. You never know when they'll come back to buy more. It may not be the next day...

Are you selling at a market? If selling to people face to face, meaning NOT online, then yes, free samples are advisable. Just make sure you include all your contact information. If selling online, which is what I used to do, I sold a sampler of my soaps. I also gave a free soap sample with...

What a wonderful idea! :)

You can remelt it and add more fragrance. Depending upon what color[s] you used, don't worry about it as you can consider it a learning experience regarding those colors/scents. On the bright side, you'll have a nicely scented soap loaf! Hope this helps!

Great looking soap & with heavy creamy you'll get a very luxurious lather!

Binky, Voyageur sells rebatch base. I prefer the rebatch base when making shampoo bars. M&P can be used successfully too--it's just a matter of preference. Adding herbs and your preferred essential oils is a good way to start. Voyageur also sells fragrance oils and essential oils. Essential...

No, you can only use fragrance oils or essential oils. Here's a very helpful link: http://www.fragranceoilfinder.com/catalog/index.php
