First frosted soap and first time uploading to the gallery
Recipe 1: Coconut oil 30% palm oil 20% olive oil 20% sunflower oil 20% Avocado oil 5% castor oil 5%
Lye concentration 35% superfat 5%
Recipe 2 (Frosting) :
Coconut oil 30%
Palm oil 30%
Olive oil 15%
Sunflower oil 15%
Castor oil 10%
Lye concentration 33% superfat 5%
Additives etc: sodium lactate, kaolin clay (mixed with the fragrances 1tbsp, let sit overnight) TD (accidentally got water soluble )
Process
I wanted to make a bottom white layer with a gold mica line and an 'in the pot swirl' but when the mica line blew up (very dramatic) I just spazzed my way to the end
I don't even remember what I did it's all a blur.
The frosting on the other hand went better than expected! It sets up very slowly so I felt like I could take my time. I made the embeds with m and p.
Fragrance: lemon EO, Eucalyptus and Peppermint. Mom says it smells like creme de menthe
The mica line was literally a bust lol
The bottom layer was quite thin, perhaps too thin? And one of my micas morphed into a really gross green (also very dramatic
) luckily managed to fix it with a different green.
After 3 weeks of curing I've had no ash and the fragrance is still going strong
