Yay! Happy Happy!

Pure coconut oil. Scented with nature's garden Tonka&Tobacco. Half contains ZCS the other half does not. Soaped at 100° and it was to hot

It should come out brown and white. But, I'm just not seeing it

Forgot the sodium gluconate

@justsomeguy mine took a few days and slowly turned brown over a few weeks. Hopefully the same happens for you!

Thanks!
There's been movement! So something's gonna change

A big batch of ZNCS colored with 3% Alkanet root olive oil. ,5% sodium gluconate, 4% lavender, oakmoss lavender oil (.5 tsp ppo). 50% olive, 50% pomace.

It's looking very green

I cut the coconut soap. No yellow. A little brown and a whole lotta white

Then I cut the ZNSC. It didn't fully gel. It's still green and it's a wee bit soft

So, the chemically smell of the ZCS has eaten the Tonka & Tobacco fragrance.

Anyone know the odds that it'll fade away in 6 weeks and the fragrance oil returns?

Love the white… looks gorgeous!

 

[justsomeguy]

The green looks like it's trying to turn purple in the gel'd bit anyway

The ZCS accent scent is thankfully gone
The brown never really fully developed though

Edit: crossed out my typo

I made soap this morning in the new mold.

ZNSC using HO sunflower oil instead of olive. .5% sodium gluconate, 1.9% sea salt. 1.7% baking soda. 2% sorbitol. 1Tbs arrowroot powder. 2% Jasmine, 2% neroli, 2% lavender. 3% tumeric infused oil for the orange, 3% Alkanet root infused oil for the purple.

Oil temp 100°, lye water 122°. Final batter temperature 78° CPOP ongoing

I managed to replicate my feathered mantra entry finally

Thanks!
It was a messy making session
But that mold with the dividers is a game changer.

I think it's that plus the faux sea water (salt and baking soda added). Although using olive oil produces a very white bar too.

I agree ~ my olive oil soaps usually have a slightly green color to them due to using EVOO, but in the ZNSC it turned a creamy pale yellow

I made another loaf of HO sunflower oil soap with faux seawater, 1.5% sorbitol, .5% sodium gluconate, 5% lavender, 1tsp oakmoss lavender oil per kilo of oil, 5% lavender essential oil, 1 TBS arrowroot powder, 10% Alkanet root infused sunflower oil. The lye water was 200° and the oils were 87°. Together they became 120°instead of the 130-150 I was hoping for took a lot of SB to get to light trace.

It's been in the oven for 3 hours now.

Hopefully the cut occurs before this bug takes me all the way to bed.

Something's lodged under the silicone. I missed it before pouring in the batter. So, I'm gonna have a shim shaped piece of soap after the cut

The cut.

Nowhere near as purple as I was expecting. It looks almost grey with hints of blue to me

Well, blues are my favorite colors so . . . I like it!
