this is my first photo post! i finally worked up the courage to share some of my soap. now, i'm still a beginner, so i appreciate ANY feedback. i've only made a dozen or so batches of CP in the past few months. still learning and this forum has been super helpful! THANK YOU!
i made a bunch of soap this weekend. and im about to make more!
cut yesterday:
below is my Game of Thrones inspired soap called Winter Fell. scented with cedarwood, thyme, peppermint, and clove bud essential oils. this is my second attempt since the first one i used way too much TD and pigment. i held off on using as much red oxide for the red.. but its still not red enough. i liked it better before, but the suds were red. any advice?
my first attempt at a salt bar: 100% coconut oil, 20% SF, 50% salt, 1/2 water 1/2 coconut milk. tried making this as a facial bar for a friend so i added charcoal as well. fine sea salt. tea tree, lime, and clary sage EO. i gelled it in the oven and it hardened up in about 30 min.
second attempt at salt bar: 85% coconut oil, 15% shea butter, 20% SF, 80% salt, water. coarse sea salt and pink clay. some people were saying the oven process was not necessary so i left this one on the counter. it did not harden up quickly at all... took about 3 hours and it was still tacky.
here are some of my older soaps!
calendula rose soap coconut, olive, palm, shea butter with turmeric powder and calendula petals, and orange, rose geranium, lavender and patchouli EOs.
bananas soap! coconut, olive oil, palm. added honey and fresh mashed banana at trace. orange, cinnamon and vanilla EOs. smells like breakfast! tastes like breakfast?
solid shampoo bar. i am a psycho about solid shampoo... love them so much! made this one for my hip friends who are freaking out about tea tree and mint right now. coconut, olive, palm, shea butter, rice bran, and castor oils. peppermint and tea tree EOs. pinch of french green clay.
yours truly!
