SALT SPA BARS / LET'S SEE YOUR PIC'S

HeartToHeart · Apr 15, 2011

So, I love these salt bars. Love to call them Spa Bars... Saw some negative comments......
: i've never had success with dead sea salts in soap -- at trace or anywhere else in the process. nasty, gooey, sweaty, and lathers like a lump of cement. i wouldn't even add it as a topping, it's no better...

I don't get it.... My first trial bar lathered great! so, now I'm gonna post my pic's of all 4 batches.... Well, maybe in the morning...Just finished my 4th batch... Wonder if I can stamp them.... would love that too.... Geez they harden fast.... Love that.... Pour and cut in the same day!!! OMG!!! Soap Heaven!!! Pic's tomorrow, Saturday AM....

Those look great. I like the textured top on the cream colored one.

Lovely salt bars. Pretty colours.
I snuck a look at all your pics, your stamp looks terrific.

Wow! they all look so good.

@Soapbuddy - yours look perfect - so smooth

@jezzy - the colours are lovely!

I'm really struggling with salt bars, they seem to set up to quick and I can get the smooth texture or any decent colour. I am so envious........

Jezzy · Apr 17, 2011

Soapbuddy, I love how nice and smooth yours is to! what % of salt did you use?

busymakinsoap, it took me awhile to find the right time to color. I bring my soap to a light trace. Both of those are 100% CO SF @ 20%. then I wait a sec zap it with the sb again. Add my salt and Sb again. Seperate and color. when it is at a med trace.

I wish the colors showed up better.

Lovely bars everyone. Here are mine.

Traceyann · Apr 17, 2011

I have been reading this post with interest, now I dont want to sound dumb, but what are the benefits of salt bars ???? I assumed that being salty they would be drying to the skin ??? can someone enlighten me please as I have obviously missed something .....

Dragonkaz · Apr 17, 2011

They all look amazing!

I'm with Tracey ... are these bars to exfoliate, like the salt and oil hand rubs do?

kelleyaynn · Apr 17, 2011

Hey Bubbles Galore - I broke down and bought that mold from WSP even though I'd rather not buy from them. I had to have it! And after I do my next batch of FO tests, I'm going to make myself some nice white salt bars with the goal of looking just like yours! They are gorgeous!

Here is mine--they have cured for about 6 weeks now and I love them!

falldowngobump · Apr 17, 2011

So sorry about the huge picture--I did resize it in photobuckey but something went wrong

Finchen · Apr 17, 2011

The picture is not too big and your soaps look lovely.

Deda · Apr 17, 2011

I posted this pic a while ago, but these are my salt bars.
It really isn't a pic of salt bars, but the clear soap I made to put on top.

Oooh! Beautiful soaps. I really like the blue one to the left. It makes me think of the bottom of the sea with what looks like sand on the bottom and the translucent looks like water.

I used 50% of salt to oils.

kelleyaynn · Apr 17, 2011

Deda, is that melt and pour on top, or did you actually make translucent soap to go on top?

They are beautiful.

Deda · Apr 17, 2011
