What soapy thing have you done today?

[KiwiMoose]

Thank you! I'd love to hear if your sister finds it effective.

I use it at 5% in my doggie soap, and I use a bunch of EOs to help drown out the horrible smell. It doesn't seem to fade that much to my nose.
Today I tried a diagonally divided soap for the first time. Fingers crossed that it works out. I made a confetti layer for the bottom part of the diagonal, and an ITP for the top part. Fragrance is Japanese Musk which is apparently a Body Shop dupe?

Made my first shampoo bar! Nettle Tea w/sugar, infused olive oil w/lavender, coconut, coco butter, avocado, castor, puree'd avocado, a little EDTA, kaolin clay and Island Oasis FO from nurture soap. It smells wonderful! Can't wait to try it and see if the nettle tea helps my hair grow back It got the color from the tea!

... if the nettle tea helps my hair grow back

I believe nettle tea/infusion would serve the purpose better.

Really impressive diagonal action going on there! Adding this to my bucket list.

I’ll get it eventually but here’s my second attempt at the one pot wonder. The first two colors I put in the pot always seem to set up too much during my pour…maybe I’m not fast enough. This is scented in WSPs Flowerbomb dupe. It’s not bad, but I’m not a fan of floral. These are all mad micas colors.

I wonder if anyone ever had (ab)used ZCS to create a “vanilla ghost swirl”? Light batter, scented with vanilla essence/FO, then split, and ZCS added to only one of the two parts.

I absolutely love the 'swishy' look of the colours

I’m very happy with the cut of my Aloe and White Lily, but does anyone know why there are those dark yellow-brown patches between the white and green?

I know not why. But what I do know, is that is good-lookin' soap!

 

[ScentimentallyYours]

To me they look like you used a dark green colorant that morphed in areas that came in contact with the white soap. Maybe that’s why the dark green is still present in the thickest areas of dark green swirl???

2nd theory is that the dark green contains a colorant that migrates, much like red can do.

@Vicki C , I’m catching up to you!

 

[Megan]

Finally a one pot wonder that looks good (well, until it discoloration at least! Whoops! Just practicing technique anyway) I switched up the recipe for this one and it worked better.

I think vanilla is aggressive and the color would work its way into the ZCS part but I would love for someone to do this!

Well done grasshopper

I wrapped my soap for my granddaughter’s christening tomorrow - thanks to all who gave suggestions. I made these with silicone impression mats - colored with rose kaolin and scented with Rose Garden from new directions. I ended up not making any unscented bars, if people don’t like them they can just pass them by! My wholesale customer saw these in my studio and loved them so they have another outlet now.
