wow wow wow! And you're a beginner?! Really incredible soaps and photographs. I like all of them but especially the oatmeal one. Did you use baking cocoa powder? I

Thank you It was actually one of your posts that I saw that made me want to make these bars! I don't know what hormonal nonsense it is but I feel like I'm stinkier in the summer ever since having my kids, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works for me lol

Glad I could help and I hope it works as well for you. I am well into menopause and I understand hormonal nonsense. Love that phrase!

Thank you I made my first soap in August. I’ve tried my hand at making a lot of different kinds of things my whole life so I usually get the basics down pretty quickly. Still have lots to learn though!

The browns do look very chocolate-y! I used brown oxide (which does look a bit like cocoa powder lol) and a mid-brown mica for those two layers, and I think the FO also discolors a little. I put a touch of TD in the top layer.

Wow! I am really impressed that you have only been soaping since August. Great job!
