Nag Champa

[Dragonkaz]

I love the FO Nag Champa!

I'm not using as much black colouring in my nag champa soap due to the lather having been too black ... although this didn't do any damage as it all washed away with the lather, I think a few people found it of concern.

I'm now using black lustre mica and only colouring about a cup of soap batter. I cut some of my last batch (with too much black colouring) into starts, flowers, hearts and other shapes to use as decorations.

Love the soap, but I'm afraid I don't like nag champa ,but throw in some dragons blood anytime .

Nag Champa has been my favourite meditation incense of all time and I love burning the 100 gm sticks. I was thrilled to find this FO ... and to be able to wash with the same aroma.

I've been thinking about mixing Nag Champa and Dragons Blood ... but I'm not sure how I'd do it.

very nice!!

I did a small 2lb batch NG Nag Champa in a whipped soap. First time trying a whipped soap. The smell was nice but after 4 weeks it was still soft and sticky. I rebatched it yesterday as a HP. I will post you before and after pictures when I cut it.

I've not made whipped soap yet. What would have caused your soap to be soft and sticky ... the oils?

I don't know - I used the same recipe as all my other batches and they set up in CP or HP just fine. I do use a oil to fluid ratio of 36% so maybe too much GM for whipped soap. I've never transitioned to lye ratio.. I don't like going out of my comfort zone.

The rebatch went fine.. Although I started with baby blue and gm off white to a rebatched green..lol still pretty.
