Black Licorice Soap

[queenofbubbles]

This CP soap was scented using anise essential oil and is one of the two Halloween soaps that I'll be making. . I usually hate soda ash, but in this case I think it helps give the soap a spiderweb/creepy look. Perfect for a Halloween soap!

Ooh I love anise EO, and that color is awesome! What did you use for that black?

Cool looking soap. I agree, its very halloween-y.

Hi Seawolfe,

I used black oxide from New Directions Aromatics.

Wow~~They look gorgeous!! I did not use to like star aniseed or licorice scent but thanks to soaping, I now love it!

Hi Seawolfe,

I used black oxide from New Directions Aromatics.

They look great very Haloween :smile:.
I would have used activated charcoal for a charcoal soap, which are great sellers right now. Not sure if you sell. Activated charcoal also makes a beautiful shiny black, so much easier to use and add the benefits of charcoal to soap

I love the marbleized spider webs! Great looking soap!

Hi cmzaha,

I'm a new soaper (I've been soaping for less than a year), so my creations are strictly for gifts to family/friends. I do not sell.

However, I love your suggestion about using activated charcoal instead of black oxide. I love that by using activated charcoal, you get colour and benefits for the skin. Thanks! )
