My first soap disaster

[queenofbubbles]

I've been soaping for about 9 months, but this is the first time I've had a soap seize on me. It was aweful. Within seconds after adding the fragrance - BAM! - total ciment. I managed to "plop" it into the molds, but I really don't know if I'll be able to save it. Oh well, you live, you learn. Raspberry Lemonade FO from Saffire Blue? Yeah, not for CP!!!

Nice idea for a soap. Sad the FO didn't work out, it will probably still be usable, just not pretty enough to sell? I don't know if you are interested or already know, but raspberry seeds are great in soap. I have used raspberry and cranberry seeds as exfoliation and they give off a really nice look and feel. If you find a FO that works for the raspberry/lemonade bar seeds might be a fun addition. Dried raspberries should work as well, I have not used them tough.

Pictures of a cranberry seeded bar attached.

That's sad. Maybe this will be a rebatch??

too bad. it does look like a delicious baked product though, coming right out of the oven!

I didn't know about raspberry seeds, I've only used poppy seeds thusfar. Thank you for the suggestion!

Yup, I'm thinking rebatch. Watching a ton of YT videos to figure out how to do that as we speak...

Oh man, I thought those were real! Really cool and makes more sense.
