Recent Soaping ... 5 new bars with natural colorants / EO's

[Bama]

great job. I love the madder root color. Where did you get your madder root and morrocan clay from. BTW I bought those same molds from BB and they have worked really great for me with smooth sides and I make cold process soap, I need to see if they have come out with the longer ones since they have been about all I have used of late.

Hi

Those soaps look great.

Is this the mold you are talking about?

I have been trying to find a straight edge silicone container for a long time and could not. This looks like it might work.

Did you infuse the natural colorants in oil before adding/

Hi everyone! So sorry I disappeared, I had a super busy week and just now got on here to see all the wonderful replies

I'll try to answer your questions now...

 

[moosie]

curious if your a doing cpop with these molds? There was a discussion somewhere else about the texture on the sides with this mold. I've noticed it on my "cpop'd" batches, but not the ones I just insulate on the table. Just a thought. I love the mold as well!

I think they sell a slightly longer version of the silicone mold on Brambleberry now.

I have been doing CPOP, just because its more convienient for me to just pop them in warmed oven and let them sit in there overnight so no one touches them. I'll have to experiment and try wrapping instead and not use the oven to see if that makes a difference. Thanks!!

Lovely pictures!

Re the madder root, did you infused the oil or add it at trace?

Thank You The madder root was added at trace.

Do we get to see the other 5 loaves that you mentioned? And/or cut pics?? Pretty please, more soap ****!

LOL I promise I'll share more 8)

how nice! I honestly love them all and the simplicity is striking.

may I ask what you used in the oatmilk and honey to get that peach color?

I actually didn't use any color in that one I "think" it happened from adding the honey, I used my mom's honey from her bees, not sure if that makes a difference.

Thank You!!! I wonder if the combination of the CPOP and me possibly having "sticky soap" makes it worse. I think when I checked they only had the longer ones and don't sell the 8" ones anymore. I got my colorants from Soap Making Resource, I purchase their little combo pack to try everything out and see what I liked most, They really give you a good amount so it was totally worth it for me, I got to try them all without having to buy so much.

I'm 99.9% sure those are it, they look the same and have the same dimensions, I believe BB still sells them but they are longer now, 10"???

Did you infuse the natural colorants in oil before adding/

These I did not infuse, I just added at trace. depends on my mood I really like the dandelion leaf, I put it in my magic bullet to powder it and added it in and it has a cool earthy natural look to it.

added cut photos!!!!

oh and to clarify about the color of the oatmeal bar, as in the sugar from the honey darkened it not the actual color of the honey

 

[Hazel]

The bars look great! I really like the speckled look in soaps. I think it makes them look more interesting than just a solid color.

 

[moosie]

oh and the dandelion leaf colored one, got more green and then faded back again after a few weeks. Its still really pretty though.

I too love the speckled look I'll be testing these out the next couple weeks to see if I can "feel" the speckles!

Great looking batches. You must have a great mold to get them looking perfect.

These are fantastic. I have many materials for coloring my soaps naturally, but haven't tried. You make it look easy!

moosie hasn't been on the forum for awhile so she may not see your question very soon. Here are a few links to sites which sell madder root.
