help with iron oxide.

I just made a batch of green pine soap a week ago and i think i added to much iron oxide. I tried the soap out with gloves on to see if the bubbles were green and they were, is there any thing i can do?

You can do what I do with my chocolate scented soap, which always lathers brown on me because of the FO- I chunk it up or shred it up and add part of it to a new batch (uncolored) as confetti or chunky decoration. This seems to help cut down a bit on the colored lather so it's not so obvious.

Edited to add another suggestion: If you have some plain, uncolored, unscented (or pine scented) soap shreds and you're not averse to rebatching, you can mix the green colored shreds with the uncolored shreds half and half, and rebatch them together into a new soap. That will dilute the green down so that it's not causing green lather.

I would be tempted to leave it and advertise: New! Fun Green Bubbles!
