My 1st CP “natural” soap

[Cindy B]

This is my first cold process soap, half made with turmeric and the other half matcha. On top I sprinkled chamomile. It is just naturally scented made with Oo, coconut oil, Shea butter and sweet almond. It’s kinda ugly but it smells great and soaps nicely.

Congratulations!!! Just a word of warning, any botanicals on top make a mess in the tub. They also have a tendency of turning brown due to the lye.

Very nicely done though for your first! Welcome to the addiction!

I don't think it's ugly. You have accomplished two several techniques already, coloring & layering. Congratulations!

It’s not ugly at all - congrats on your first batch!

Looking good! I like the colors you achieved. If you don’t mind sharing, how did you add the matcha and turmeric?

I split the batch and I diluted each in water before I added them to the oils. It mixed perfect.

Does the matcha stay that nice olive green, or will it turn brown during the cure?

I has changed to a brown but I actually don't mind. And the chamomile hasn't discolored at all which is a bonus!
