Custom soap

Todd Ziegler · Apr 12, 2020

I did this soap for a friend. It is supposed to be blue and gold for the school colors where her husband graduated from. In person you can see the gold better but looking back, I should have used more yellow than gold. Oh well, she likes it and that is all that matters.

I've been liking the yellow from red palm oil, have you tried it yet?

Do you mean the red from red palm oil? If so, I haven't tried it but I plan on trying it soon. I have 8 ounces of it but I am a little worried about the stain it can leave, if I use to much.

Unmolded and cut my soap! I used red palm oil at 5% and think that is strong enough. My mold is stained yellow and I'm hoping it's temporary. The patchouli/lemon/lemongrass smells awesome.

Must. Not. Use. for 6 weeks.... View attachment 43294 View attachment 43295

Woops -- I don't know what I did there 2 posts above -- I meant to insert this picture because your soap reminded me of mine. I used red palm and got this yellow. I was leery of staining because of other posts in this forum and elsewhere but it has NOT stained washcloths or lather, and the stain in the mold washed right out. My wife said she'd be happy if I only made this soap forever -- for what that's worth!
