Grapfruit soap with carrot infused oil

[Obsidian]

This is my latest batch of soap. made with OO that was infused with homemade carrot powder. The color is from the carrot oil. I used TD in half to give a faint swirl. It ended up quite yellow which was surprising.
Scented with grapefruit FO that went poof. It has a very faint scent, so disappointing.

Love it. Yellow is a favorite color and your swirls are subtle but ever so pretty.

Beautiful! How did you make the carrot powder?

 

[Obsidian]

I ran the carrots through a juicer, mixed the juice back into the pulp and dried it in a dehydrator. I used a coffee grinder to powder up the lumps before adding the OO. I really love the color, I'm thinking a nice scent like sunflower would go well with it.

Thank you I did a test lather, its very slightly yellow but not enough to be a issue. Its actually kinda pretty.

Lovely, Obsidian! The golden yellow is a treat to the eye -- and I enjoy those delicate swirls. Nice work!

I've been surprised at how much my scents change in soap during cure. Not saying your grapefruit scent will re-emerge, but give it some time and see what happens.

Such a lovely happy colour for a soap. Fingers crossed for you that your scent returns.
