I’ve gotten several batches under my belt, but there’s still one thing I’m a bit confused about... Maybe it’s just me overthinking, but I’ve been wondering if there’s a “right” way to add colorants to soap.
For example, I’ve read that it helps to mix colorants with a carrier oil, but my bars get pretty soft whenever I do that. I think it’s raising the superfat- I usually do 5%.
I’ve wanted to try adding micas directly to the soap, but would I have to stickblend them in? I don’t really want to work with a thicker trace.
I would love to hear your ideas! If you add oil or mix micas straight into the soap, let me know!
