How is this accomplished?

Does anyone know how to get the speckled look like this soap has? I cant seem to figure it out. It is cp soap (as far as I know).

Not sure, but this technique could be used to make soaps that look like various granite stones.

Maybe colored salt or sugar. Though it would be scratchy in that size granule. Or chopped up shreds perhaps.

It looks like coarse salt to me. You can get pink Himalayan salt, but I don't know if dyed salt would hold the color once it was mixed into soap batter. Maybe it is colored and white soap chopped to look like granite bits.

If it is salt or sugar in that size grain, I would Not want to use it. It would be extremely scratchy. I am wondering if it could be fine chopped m&p, that would give the translucence effect.

Looks like confetti soap to me. Maybe take your shreds or small chunks and give them a quick blast in the food processor?

My vote goes to shreds.
Arranged length wise and then a base poured in.
I'm with Carolyn on the salt / sugar. Just way too abrasive.

My first thought was finely chopped up shreds, either CP or M&P, but I'm also wondering if they might be colored jojoba beads. I have no idea if they'd survive the lye though.

Looks like soap shreds to me too

 

[Rowan]

I vote for shreds too

 

[dibbles]

I too would say its a confetti soap. I made one that looks similar by doing a rough chop through my shreds. That one looks very similar, but with more confetti than I used.

 

[Stacyspy]

I also vote shreds!

Shreds, yes. My kid makes them all the time.
