I'll keep the suspense going for awhile. Am conflicted -- want to give others a fighting chance.

@basti this is amazing - I love it! If you don’t mind me asking how did you make this? I have procreate wondering if that would workIf it helps anyone, these are a few colorways I made for quick reference.

As long as the mica is in the grey family, it will be fine. Here are some examples:@Mobjack Bay —Question: If I wanted to use a gray as my hue, could I use a silver to create my tone?
Also, can we incorporate an oil and mica into the pour?

Zinc oxide is fine!Also, quick question @Mobjack Bay - I am hoping zinc oxide was acceptable to use for the white? I could not find my TD anywhere
I am trying to think of something you can use as white that would be readily available. In 2021, I tested the ability of starch and clay additives to enhance the retention of orange eo, with the additives at 4 tsp. ppo. The most obvious whitening was associated with cornstarch. There‘s a photo here. It looks like cornstarch is available in Italy.I'm loving the idea of this challenge! I realise I don't have any white mica or white colorant though. I've been procastinating buying whites, but the possibilities of this challenge really make me want to try... (I recently moved back to Italy from the UK so I've still to find new suppliers, I remember there was a thread mentioning a few EU sites...) so off I go in search of a supplier!

Thank you both for the help!@Mobjack Bay and @melonpan I remember reading quite a long time ago that some white food colorings contain titanium dioxide. A search here might turn something up as to how they work, but looking at Wilton ingredients on Amazon it seems it is only titanium dioxide, glycerin and water. I also have no idea what might be available in Italy.
Perfect timing because I just got home about an hour ago!@Mobjack Bay and everyone - I can’t seem to find the rules for photo entry. How many bars, etc. Any must includes to note?
Thank you so much - sorry I couldn’t get my eyes and brain to see that in the Rules.Perfect timing because I just got home about an hour ago!
From the Specific Rules for the challenge:
”5. In addition to the list of color proportions and types of colorants used, you must present two bars of soap for the competition and each of them must contain the hue color and all tint, tone and shade variations used in the soap.”
No apologies needed. This month’s rules not as concise as they could be.Thank you so much - sorry I couldn’t get my eyes and brain to see that in the Rules.
Appreciate the fast reply
