Houseofwool what color is the pink in your soap?

It is red violet mica from Nurture.

I love their micas. They disperse easily in water and I haven't had any issues with morphing. My base is pretty tan due to palm oil.

The last few days have been busy! Masterbatched my Shea butter recipe. Stopped for dinner at my local brew pub and decided to pick up a growler of my favorite microbrew for drinking and soaping. One of my friends was waitressing and jokingly said something about drinking the beer and not soaping with it. I replied that I was going to do both so she bought my beer with the promise that she would get a couple bars of soap. One night spent reducing the beer (along with other mommy duties). Soaped it last night and cut this morning. I fragranced with sandalwood and vanilla. My vanilla seeps every time but I like this one because it doesn't heavily discolor so I've learned to be patient and let the soap reabsorb the oil instead of cleaning it. I am really happy with how the swirls turned out.

I unmolded and cut my 4th batch of soap, a bastille milk bar -- 80% OO, 12% Shea, 8% Castor, half milk water replacement added w/oils.

Made another batch of shave soap today. Didn't like the recipe I made in August although it was pretty nice ... just not nice enough ... so I tweaked my recipe a little bit and am trying again. I use fragrance oils in my bath soaps, but I prefer essential oils in shave soap. A mix of lavender, rosemary, and mint is really nice.

Made a small batch of black-white soap for the January challenge. I'm not sure the black and white color combination is my "thing" but I'm certainly widening my horizons.

Went through my soap cabinet and tidied. I've got more room in the cabinet now ... and my soaper's nature abhors a vacuum. What shall I get to fill the empty space?

"What shall I get to fill the empty space?"


Oh the possibilities...:think:
I have oil in boxes on the floor by the cabinet!
How about some EO's?

I made my soap for the January challenge...

I'm still patiently awaiting my new bud cutter...which stated it would be delivered on Thursday but I didn't receive it. Maybe it will be here tomorrow. I hope I'll let y'all know if it makes it here and I'll post pics as well

 

[janzo]

Made some toilet bombs and some laundry bombs, first time for both. Will try the laundry bombs tomorrow and see how they perform. Also rebatched a whole lot of grated soap, first time for that too! Was about to make sugar scrubs with some grated soap but power has just gone off again, so that will have to be another day

 

[DeeAnna]

Good suggestions, Steve. I get to keep my EOs and fats are in our second fridge (yes, DH spoils me).

But maybe some more colorants? Newbie, Saponista, and LionPrincess are luring me into the "swirly side" of soaping.

I made a charcoal pumice menthol/citrus soap.... My kitchen smells like Vicks now... It's so fresh smelling.
I hope it turns out as scrubby as my last batch as I used a different pumice powder this time.

 

[Misschief]

I made my second attempt at salt soap after tossing my last attempt. Hopefully, this one will be a lot better.

I made a 'summer' themed soap (to match the NZ Xmas weather) and a sweet pea scented and coloured soap for an up coming birthday.

I made a 'summer' themed soap (to match the NZ Xmas weather) and a sweet pea scented and coloured soap for an up coming birthday.

I'm jealous, it's the coldest winter that we've had in a while, and I'm not a cold weather person.

Just poured my New Years Castile, and working on the recipe for my B&W Challenge soap.

 

[kchaystack]

Cut my New Years castille and took a batch out of the mold my bf got me for my bday.

It's a lard soap with wsp Coconut Lime Verbena.

 

[Saponista]

That is such a great mould. I wish they weren't so expensive in the uk! Same with tall and skinny, I would kill for one of those but I'd have to buy it from Holland and pay extortionate taxes on top of their price

 

[chemandcreate]

Just realized that I tried to make a soap almost exact same colours as House of wool posted. Mine didn't turn out quite as nice. I used sauce bottles and the thickness of the pour wasn't enough so my batch looks more patchy with its swirls. My white and black aren't as sharp in colour either more cream and gray. Live and learn.

 

[DeeAnna]

Nice, KC! Your boyfriend is a keeper!!!
