charcoal soap and swirl

[vivcarm]

Here are my weekends endeavours!
First my charcoal one enspired by Carebear's soap. I crushed two charcoal sticks for this I would have liked it slightly darker, it is secnted with Tomato leaf, I am happy with this one!

Next one is an Alkamaar dupe, which I did ina paink and lavender swirl, slight crackles on the lavender sections, so I think it must be the colour, maybe the colour itself ahd some TD in it. Smells lovely!

Hope you like them! I have also made the stain stick this morning thanks to a topic a couple of weeks ago. Will let you know what it's like once it's cured.

Does charcoal soap stain the washcloth?

Am loving the charcoal soap alot! One more to add to my list of soaps I one day want to make. Funny thing is with all this inspiration that list is getting pretty long.

I like black soap and I'm collecting methods of coloring it. Wonder if the charcoal capsules at the pharmacy would work? I have carebear's 1 T. ppo black oxide tip and now your charcoal sticks tip. Any more ways to black?

Both are very lovely soaps. I love the subtle gray charcoal, especially, though a good swirl can make a soaper's day.

I couldn't imagine using a tablespoon of black oxide per pound of oils in a soap. that would be like...wow.... a LOT of black. Maybe a teaspoon? Which still sounds a bit heavy.

I have no idea, I have to wait for it to cure, just made it two days ago.

Thanks for all the comments, I am gradually coming round to the idea of plain soap

oldragbagger,
I tried a trimming this morn, slight grey lather but only because I was looking for it! Could see a slight colour on the cloth but washed out easily, so I don't think it stains the cloth. HTH
