All Vegetable Oil Soap
6 oz. coconut oil
3 oz. palm
7 oz. olive oil
2.35 oz. lye
6.4 oz. water
and its only small and then i Cover it with a blanket for insulation but its been like 2 hours and its hard and colour has gone more white and still warm is that ment to be? and on the side corner it has a small crack is that ment to happen?
 
I wouldn't risk it, it may look hard but it probably won't be. I'd leave it for another 16 hours if I were you

Yeah, the soap gets warm. If you find you are getting more cracks down the middle etc., unwrap it a little. It might be getting too hot. the colors will change as it gels. That's normal.

Here are the pics what do you think ? and the colour is a herb i tryed lol but didnt know how to do it so i just put a bit here and a bit there :) :D
 
Very creamy looking. I love the splash of color. Way to go!
 
Very nice, you've done a great job!
What herbs did you use? I like the swirl of colour. You wouldn't be able to mimic that look again if you tried!! And your soap does look lovely and creamy.
