Zinc and Mineral Oil soap

[Obsidian]

Did another soapy experiment today. Used zinc ointment as SF in a CP bar. Its mineral oil based ointment and I wasn't sure how it would do in soap but it turned out perfect.
The ugly brown bits are rose petals from the rose infused oil. Scented with juniper breeze.

The blue and whites pretty!
Glad juniper breeze worked for you.. The flower imbeds I just posted had it and it excellerated like crazy! Never would have been able to do a swirl.

I saw that you had issues with yours. I get mine from a local soap supply store and they won't share what supplier they use but it soaps perfect.
When I first mixed this one up, it looked like your vanilla ice cream soap but as soon as it gelled, the herbs turned icky. I think I need vanilla seeds, they look so pretty in creamy soap.

Very pretty colors & swirls! I've always wondered what mineral oil would to in CP...I use it on all my plastic molds for easy release...I learn something new everyday!

It does leave a bit of a film on the skin but not too bad. I'm thinking 1-2 tsp PPO would be enough.

Gorgeous swirls. Give it a good cure and let us know how the rest of it is!

It has a very slight oily feeling but thats to be expected. I used 5%, might try again someday with only 2%. I do like the fact that there is enough mineral oil to leave some on the skin but for people who don't like a film or who don't like mineral oil, they would probably hate this soap.
I live in a dry environment though and have really dry skin so the extra oil feels nice to me. Will update every week or two. I'd also like to mention that I like the white from the zinc, I think I will get some powder and start using it instead of titanium dioxide.
