**** near soap on a stick....More like Yogurt.

So you remember that cheap yogurt you could get at walmart growing up that came in a big white container with fruit painted on the side? Thats what half my lavender soap I just made came out the consistancy of, the other half was perfectly fine!

I added purple mica to the oils, and the FO to the oils before adding it to the lye/oils mixture. The one that I put in the matte white oils came out fine. The purple not only turned a ugly cheap-yogurt-blueberry color but it QUICKLY started to become yogurt consistancy.

So, I poured the one, and glopped the other in the mold. Ill post pics tomarrow or the day after so we can see how it came out.

I hope everything works out. Hey maybe you'll have a wonderful soap and it will be as total shock how beautiful it turned out!! (Stranger things have happened!)

As for Walmart yogurt....Walmart did not exist in New England when I was growing up, so nope, can't remember it!

Lots of florals move fast. I have learned with some scents to add at the very last just before I pour into my mold.

Don't panic about the weird color just yet. By tomorrow the lavender may be normal and much prettier. I always get a yucky grayish blue color when I use lavender. But after it saponifies overnight it turns back into a pretty lavender color. I use a lavender mica with a bit of TD.

I cut it today and its still ugly color, its a little soft still ill post pictures tomarrow.

So it wasn't the fo coz you put it to the oils before the lye mixture, right?

Where did you get the purple mica from? Very rarely did a colorant gives me trouble, other than td.

Colorant from WSP, and I added the ..*think* I had mixxed the color with some oils, then added some of the incorperated lye/oils to the colored oils + FO.

So cup 1 was: Color + Oil + FO. That got added to Oils + Lye
