My first gelled soap!

[sharnofshade]

This is my third batch, and I really couldn't be happier with it! The colour is 100% from the oils, no additives

It was my first time gelling, and I'm definitely going to do that more often from now on. I didn't realise gelling made soap look so moist and clear! It was also amazingly easy to rebatch - it melted down to a water-like consistency with no lumps, so it was super easy to re-pour!

I'm actually tempted to rebatch it a second time to add some honey to it, because it looks so much like honey already.

I just want to thank everyone who posts on this forum - without this community, I would never have started making soap, and it's quickly becoming my favourite (and, so far, cheapest) hobby!

Looks good! You don't need to rebatch. The more you rebatch the drier the soap becomes.

A great rich colour!

It's fun to make soap without additives, or to use only natural colouring additives.

That looks nice. :wink:
