New Christmas Soap -= two!!

[LJA]

You know what I would name that soap, don't you? :twisted:


I wouldn't respect you, if you didn't. Hee. :wink:

Do you SB the bajeezus out of it? I add it to my oils before the lye, SB it to death and it's good. Mine is from Brambleberry.

I added it to the lye water because I tried adding it to the oils once and it just plain would not combine. It made little white oil droplets in the oil mixture. I use oils that are as close to white as possible, but true-white eludes me. Maybe I need TD from a different supplier. Mine were from MMS and never had trouble with anything from them.

OMG I lurve the snowball soaps!! They are gorgeous!!
Nice glitter on top Does it go all the way throughout the soap or is it just sprinkled on the top?

Go, what would you call it castor fan? Id love to know, I bet it would be a brilliant name!!

The glitter is sprinkled on the top then spritzed with alcohol but I did also add a small bit to the main white batch too which just gives a faint shimmer, Im happy with it. So much so that I made a second identical batch yesterday!

My TD is water soluble, I add 1tsp ppo and mix it up with a tiny bit of water, I mix like mad with a small whisk, I then add it to my lye mixture before adding to the oils, this way it also gets a whiz up with the sb, I learnt the hard way with a whole batch of soap that was not white but had irritating little white, streaky blobs all through it!! - more rebatch material lol

My word Ishbel, that is one gorgeous batch of soap! Well done!

Wow, that is beautifully white and I love the shimmer too. It's just gorgeous.

How do you make the little soap balls?
Do you use a special 'white' mixture of oils?

Thanks for the tip! I will try the alcohol spritz next time with some glitter
