Ugliest salt bar rebatch ever...help

[klbowden]

So, about a year ago I made a bunch of salt bars. I got a little overzealous with the large pink Himalayan sea salt crystals as decoration and therefore my soaps cracked horribly. Today I put them through the food processor and followed the directions on this forum for how to rebatch salt soap. Soap turned out perfectly! I made a 20% super fat at all coconut oil soap base and added the flakes to it. However, I now have the world's ugliest soap bars! I used madder root to give it a nice pink hue to complement the Himalayan sea salt. Unfortunately I now have 30 round bars that look exactly like raw ground meat! Anyone have any suggestions for how I rebatch this again? I will follow the same recipe but need to know what color schemes to use to get rid of this ugly raw meat look. Thanks so much!

I would use TD to make a very white base and add the pink soap to that. Actually, I would just use them as is.

Give it a cute name like 80% lean soap or eat more chicken . I usually name my soap after I make it based on how it turned out. Very clean looking.

Maybe the madder root will fade. I empathize with you, though. I made some 'corned beef hash' soap and absolutely hated the look. I rebatched mine and made it black granite soap instead, using black oxide, but AC would work just as well.

I made zombie flesh once, it was so ugly I tossed it.

I've got a batch of 'bloody ground meat' soap from a rebatch, too. I don't think I can recolor mine, though. I added iron oxide (what was I thinking?) and added probably way too much, so adding more pigment is not a great idea. I'm thinking chop it into bitsy pieces that I can mix into fresh soap.

Omg that's so funny... So unfortunate but so funny!!

I'd keep it as is and give away as gag gifts. Call it "Salted Cured Soap".

Corned beef hash.. I'm kinda hungry now.

I like it as is! I didn't connect it to raw meat until you mentioned it, lol. Like others have said, give it a cute name. Anyone you gift it to will appreciate it!

Actually, you know how you can wash bars of soap to remove ash and it makes them all shiny? What would it do to that soap? Im wondering if it would go more towards "rose granite" than "spam"
