Mardi Gras challenge and bonus failed salt bars

squigglz · Jan 17, 2013

The top of the Mardi Gras soap made for the soap challenge! The star cut outs and the soap curls are hemp melt and pour with some glitter.

It turned out really neat once cut. I like how the line of glitter came out.

'Nother angle.

Palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil. I fragranced with raspberry porter, bonsai, and sage and lemongrass. Colored with various oxides. Came out really nice!

My failed salt bars. I say failed because they're not as cohesive as I had hoped. The scent is REALLY nice though, I used Celestial Waters and it goes perfectly with the salt!

I'm not caring too much if those are saleable-I can keep em all to myself

Coconut oil and water. Colored with Brazillian clay. I used Himalayan sea salt.

Thank you! I almost forgot to do them, lol. Thankfully, due to it being hot process, I had an extra half hour (the cook time) before the pour so I whipped them up real quick xD
