My Honey Oatmeal Soap

[yoenoess]

Im using
50% Pomance olive oil
25% Palm Oil
25% Coconut Oil

Water : lye = 1,5 : 1
5%lye discount

2% honey
4% grinded Oatmeal
no FO, no EO

and mix it around 35 C (95F) lye and 45C (113F) of oil

i wonder why its two tones color, the surface is beautifully ivory white. while the rest is kindda strange orange

The difference in color is probably from either gelling or may be some ash on the top. My eyes are awful, so I can't really tell from the small photo. They sure sound good, though!

Looks like soap ash to me.
The other colour of the soap looks like classic oatmeal milk and honey soap.
My OMH looks exactly the same.

Nice. The colour is fairly typical of a GM soap although if you've just cut it, it may lighten a bit to match the top. I don't see ash in the enlarged photo but ash may occur later. :wink:

how can i put bigger picture?

i take that pic with blackberry9700

it isnt ash, when i wash them, its stay on
those white ivory color is the same color when lye and oil at trace condition.

does the rest (orange color) is because they gelled ?
