1. I have my 1 lb batch split in two pink grapefruit FO added, I added 1 tsp TD to the oils.The pink is colored with 1/4 tsp rhassoul clay and 1/2 tsp red labcolors . I mixed the pink to med trace and added the salt , I left the white soap at thin trace and added the salt and left it at that stage.

2. I filled the yogurt cups approximately 1/2 full , banged them on the counter to get any air out , then I took my thin spatula and made them diagonal and smoothed the top . I got the bits of pink off the sides with a wooden stir stick , with a thin cloth wrapped around it . I set them on a board so the soap didn't settle back down , even though it is pretty thick at this point .

3. I let them set up for about 5 minutes , then I stirred the white to thick trace .

4. I spooned the white on top of the pink and banged them on the counter to get the air out.

5.Covered them up with saran , put a board on top and wrapped them in a towel to gel.

6. It didn't take long until they were heating up , I umolded them about 5 hours later .Just pushed the bottom of the container and they pop out .

7. Finished soap , I tried unmolding this one a little to soon , it's a little wonky , but that's okay , it's mine :wink:

You can use any recipe you like .
This is what I used
11.2 oz CO
3.2 oz OO
1.6 oz Castor oil
10% Superfat
10 oz of table salt
If you want to use this recipe , please run it through soap calc to get your lye and water and the super fat you like.

There you have it :D
