I just watched a couple of her videos. She seems very down to earth. She makes those softly spooned tops with high contrast colors that I’ve been trying to replicate, so thanks for posting about her. For the ones I checked on her website, the soap ingredients are coconut, palm, olive, sunflower and cocoa butter as base oils. My guess is that the cocoa butter is 10% or less. She also mentioned in one of the videos that she cut the water way back in her recipes compared with what she used earlier in her soap making history. The behavior of the batter looked “normal” for swirling and consistent with the advice above. As cmzaha mentions, you will have fails, but it gets less common as you gain experience. Soap on!
Thank you.
Do you just mean spending a lot doing lots of trial and error batches or are you referring to something else?
No, in the UK recipes have to go through testing required by the Government, pardon my memory, but the term escapes me at the moment and approved before they can sell. They are limited to how many tweaks they can do before they have to apply again. It is very expensive for UK sellers. Somewhere here will supply the word. My coffee has not woken up my brain yet. We have it very easy here to sell they do not.
