Ginger Lemon Beer Soap

[Anstarx]

I made this batch just over the weekend and cut them today.
My original plan was to make a lemon-yellow base with a very white top and poppy seed on top. However, I was't able to achieve the lemon yellow I wanted.

For the base, I used a gold mica that turned out to be too warm. I have a bunch of micas but they are not tested for soaping. I will test them all one day but I don't want to risk ruining a big batch like this. I'm also curious if you can use yellow food coloring? Since I researched that the colorants in my food coloring is pretty much the same as lab colors.
For the top, the white beer I used turned out to be darker than I expected so the TD I prepared wasn't enough and it was tracing pretty fast so I just throw in what I got.
The EO I used was: ginger, lemon, orange peel. Right now it smells more citrus-y and barely any ginger. Maybe it will come out later?

You can see I attempted a swirl there but I didn't go in deep enough. Oh well, at least this is my first successful layer. Last time I tried to layer I had to spoon every thing in.

I have tried several soaps with beer, the batter always turned that color and it does take a lot of TD to overcome the beige color. In the soap in the picture, I just went with the darker color scheme and created a black layer, left the natural beige.
Good job on the layers and sounds like it smells wonderful!

Those look really nice even if not as planned. My beer soap also is on the beige side...

Mmm-Mmm good! Even though they didn't come out the way you wanted, they look luscious and I bet that EO blend will delight the senses as well when fully cured. Well done.
