Here is my first attempt at Confetti Soap. I was a bit worried it would - a. Darken up since I used some fragrance oils in my blend that darken to tan/brown. And b. Give me glycerin rivers since I always seem to get that with TD. It didn’t do it this time. I mixed TD into Fragrance Oil and then mixed that into my cooled oils/butters before lye water. It worked great!

Next time I will make sure my soap shavings are a bit smaller but overall I’m really happy with it!

And fully gelled and cut in 6 hours! Go figure!
 
Can anyone tell me why there is a lighter ring around the confetti? Is it because the outer part went thru gel again? Or are they small glycerin borders? I like the look but curious to why it did that.
 
Kind of looks like glycerin rivers caused by the TD and gel.
I believe you are right!

Love how white it is. I love confetti soaps!
Thanks! I like them too. This was my first but won’t be the last! Next time I will probably go with smaller confetti to see how that looks. These were rather large.

That is THE whitest soap I've seen. What was your ratio of TD to pounds of oil? Great job!

Thanks! I wish I could give you precise measurement of TD but it was an approximation....no more than 2 tbls for 60 ounces of oil.
 
Yeah I saw that. It’s best to start a new thread and link back to old if you have questions. I think the original poster @jcandleattic gave you the answer you were looking for. I used my normal recipe and added TD...my recipe had olive, castor, palm, coconut, cocoa, Shea and it got pretty white.
