]Thanks ladies for all your help. I will try some of these recipes to get a more luxurious bar that is moisturizing. You all have been a great help, and great with sharing your ideas. I have an obbession with making the soap now. I want them not only to be moisturizing but look beautiful too!
I will post some pictures of the soap I unmolded today. It was made with the same oils and I tried to use a natural colorant "walnut hull powder" which soap-making-resource.com (steve) said it would make my soap brown. I did superfat a bit with almond oil and mixed the amount he told me, one teaspoon per lb. of oils. The soap got very thick quickly (or maybe I am over stick blending or taking too long). By the time I tried the hanger swirl it was really thick. Anyway, I have two batches of soap that have these tiny looking dark cracks in them. Tell me what you think. The pink soap with the flowers I posted in another post, but will show you nice ladies.
How long before you take your soap out of a wooden mold that is gelling. I wait about 24 hours, soap is still warm, is that too soon?
