1st Coconut Bars

[DWinMadison]

Tangerine, Peppermint and Rosemary

Burnt orange and Navy (That’s soapy “gold” for my family and many American football fans who live near me).

And, YES, I used my new homemade cutter too! They obviously still need a bit of cleanup before they’re camera-ready, but considering what I was expecting....I think a little of @KiwiMoose ‘s “disaster luck” may have

drifted across the ocean.

I did another coconut bar today also.

I’m really excited to see how it affects the lather. Mine still smell a bit of ammonia, but nothing like I experience with goat’s milk. How much CM did you use as a percentage of liquid? Mine was about half master-batch lye and half CM. I’m wondering if it might now be advantageous to dilute the CM with 1 to 1 water.

They look great despite things not going as planned. Love the colors

very nice Daryl, glad your cutter worked. your swirls reminded me of something I was going to try but didn't have the right colors. hmmmmmmmmmmm maybe tomorrow

Very pretty. Nice hanger swirl. I assume it was a hanger swirl.

These are lovely! I must take note and not make up as much of the secondary colours next time. It's nice to have a larger quantity of the main colour, with a delicate swirl like yours.

They turned out really nice! I pretty much always use CM in my soaps. I use 50/50 canned milk/water but add powdered as well to make it full milk.

I must be thinking of another type of coconut bar, I didn’t use any goats milk. Oops

Thanks, and yes I used a hanger. I was afraid the soap was too far gone to move, so I got really lucky. It’s actually very close to what I imagined.

I absolutely LOVE glycerin rivers!! I always tell my customers that glycerin rivers are a natural look to "Handmade Soap". It's a trademark, I say, and then I ask them if they have ever seen glycerin rivers in Dove? huh? huh? huh?

It never occurred to me to love glycerine rivers But this completely reframes it

I heard the glycerin rivers burn fat, smooth wrinkles and acts as a natural pheromone. #ImJustSayin
