How to get this design?

This is not my soap but I love the simple design. Do you think it is just a little color in a pot and poured on the side of the mold???

Hmm, I'm not the best at figuring these things out but I think you may be right, with the color at 5-10% of the whole. Thanks for sharing. I'm bookmarking this for my bucket list.

I personally think this sort of minimalist swirl aligned on the horizontal plane of a soap made in a loaf mold is among the hardest to achieve. You could try layering an ITP layer with color at about 10% over a solid base layer, possibly adding a chopstick or spoon swirl to push some of the top layer down into the bottom layer. Just a guess though since I have’t tried it.

Strikes me as a what I'd call a "dive pour". Very similar to what @Mobjack Bay described. Light-medium-ish trace. Base layer=70%, Contrasting color=30% (ish). Pour some solid base layer. Pour 1/3 of the contrasting color from 6-12 inches up (depending on how froggy you're feeling), aiming for a thick line down the center or to one side of center. The point is to break through the lower layer and have the batter "dive" like a diver into a swimming pool. Pour more of the base layer, from about 3-4 inches high, across whole loaf to cover previous pours - but don't smooth it out. If you aren't able to cover all of the previous pours, it's fine. Repeat high pour with contrasting color, but pour it in a different area than previous. Pour base layer again, then contrasting one more time - for a total of three high pours - finishing with base layer and a smattering of the contrasting color (if any left).

A quick search yielded this video where she ends up with a very similar looking soap. I can't tell if she's pouring from high up because she speeds up the video during the pour, so you'll have to slow it down during that part:

Some very similar and beautiful soap pics were posted here. Perhaps @Ellacho could chime in on how it was done.

It is so pretty! Thanks for the share!

Yes and its that horizontal, imperfect minimalist layer that I love so much. That sounds good. Do you think it matters on where I start to pour the ITP layer, like on the side or from the front of the mold?
