Thanks! It's my favorite soap so far I think.
I used 1 tsp ppo of oil soluble TD mixed in with my oils to get the white. I mix my TD with my liquid oils with a SB in a cottage cheese container. I mix forever. Then I pour it into my melted oils so that if I didn't mix anything it stays behind in the container. Then I mix with a SB again like crazy. For oils I used olive, palm, coconut, rice bran, mango butter, and castor oil. My FO was a clear color too. I used the glitter from Michael's, which is body safe. It's a rip off, but it was an experiment.
I don't know anything about glitter except I would buy the body safe stuff. I just saw oregon trail soaps had a bunch of new glitter! I put 1/4 tsp ppo glitter in my soap, which looks cool, but scratchy in a bad way on my skin! Oh well. DH said it's one of those soaps you leave as a decoration. LOL! I put 1/8 tsp glitter on top and sprayed with alcohol.
I gelled it in an oven with the heat off for 30 min with only wax paper on top and then took it out. You can't see when the soap gels with TD in it, but if you push down on it and it's soft, then you know it gelled. This is after is goes through the hardening phase.

i really, really love the white one!
i'm so sorry i haven't seen this before, cause my cousin asked me to make some soap for her as wedding favors, and she chose it to be pink.. i tried to talk her into it being white, and i think i'd manage if i had this pic to show her
oh, yes, my pink went from salmon pink (eww) to lavanderish-greyish, and finally (?) to pale peach..

holy cow! :shock:
that is some beautiful WHITE soap! the glitter is a wonderful addition, too.
i've used a blend of50% white mica & 50% td @ 1-2 tsp ppo, and though it lightens and brightens my soap, i've never gotten even close to your pretty soap!
may i ask if you don't gel? i otherwords, you don't actually have a very warm gel? mine so far has been warm gells. that must make a difference.
anyway, both soaps are quite lovely!

heartsong, I think my picture is a tad misleading. I compared my soap with a white towel and my soap is a creamy white, but if you don't compare it with something it looks white. I probably didn't have a warm gel with this one. I had another soap I put in the oven to gel, on, for 2 hours and the white is similar too. I don't want to put anymore TD in than 1 tsp ppo.
