That is gorgeous! I'm very impressed with the swirls (I'm terrible at swirling). I hope you're also going to share cut pics. I think the recipe sounds lovely and if you remember, please post back to tell us what you and your family think of the soap. You might want to consider cutting a bar in several pieces so you can try the soap at different time intervals like 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, etc. You might find this recipe doesn't need as long of a cure since you lowered the olive a little and added mango.

Sorry about being confused yesterday.

DeeAnna is right. You can add more oil if you reduce the water. There is a discussion about how to calculate oils for a mold which you might find helpful. But since you've already made the batch, you probably already know how much oil you need. :lol:
 
Thanks Hazel. :) I did post pictures in the photo area. I increased the oils from 114 to 118 and it worked out perfect. Likely 114 would have been enough as I had a good amount left in the pot I just couldn't get to. After lifting that thing with my natural color base in there, my arms were tired. haha!
I have the ends cut off and plan to use those for testing!
