My first soap!

Beautiful! Would you mind sharing your recipe, I LOVE the colour of this! The first one I did (just the other day) came out a nice colour too, but still a little too yellowish for my liking.

I love how white the soap is! Great job and I can't wait to see your next soaping effort!

Thanks again everyone! Krystal, I think we did the same recipe, lol. I did 70% olive oil, 25%coconut oil, and 5% castor oil at 7% SF. I got all my oils at Walmart, if that matters, use Walmart brand pure olive oil, the only CO they had and the only little bottle of castor they had....I do think I soaped a little low, around 110 and they didn't get hot and gel in the mold, I didn't insulate either, just let it do whatever what it wanted it too. Lol I hope that helps you at least a little.

Looks good! I wish I could get a soap that white!

your cut pic is so nice. I want to eat that bar - it looks like white chocolate. I love that you got a nice shine on it too. Awesome first batch Mindy!

Wow they really do look creamy. You did a great job and I think you will be very pleased using them. Be careful this is truly addicting!

That is pretty close to the recipe I used LOL! I did 75% oo, 20% co and 5% castor. Mine came out nice, but a bit yellow, I wonder if just changing up that 5% is enough to make such a visual difference.. Will have to try it and see! I did a crock pot soap that was 100% coconut and it's WHITE..but smells funny, maybe I'll like it more with some fragrance. Thanks so much for sharing, and it really is beautiful soap!
