So do you include the flaxseed gel as part of the water of the recipe?

Thank you. My mistake, I did mean grams not ml. I didn't use the EO calculator previously but will from now on. I had used the soap myself. I didn't notice any issue with sensitivity

I have a previous soap that I had added too much spearmint EO - like 6 or 8gr in 300 gr oils in my soap batch. I am now aware that spearmint EO should be used at a wayyyy lower concentration. If it sits for a while, can it be used or should I grate it and use it in small amounts in other soaps?

Oh :( I wish there was an app to take a picture of a soap design that you like and it would show you how to pour it. Thanks!

I love this design. Did you alternating colors, pouring on the side of the mold? Did you cut it differently to get that design. Such a natural looking design.

such a cool pour design. How do you make that design?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to mix blue/red natural colorants to make purple. I tried rhubarb/indigo and madder/indigo but as they cured, the color changed. I think the madder/indigo could work if i added more indigo. It was more red than purple. I haven't tried mixing with woad...

Due to my excitement, I unmolded these too early so they did get quite a bit of ash on them. They don't look as nice because I rinsed them to try to get the ash off. I also cut the bottom off to see what the color looks like inside and the colors are still nice. I will definitely try these...

I will. I just took them out of the mold today. I will post again in about a week then again later too

I just experimented with different botanicals using Indigo root as the "blue". Top left to right. (purple)Indigo/madder root powder, (green) indigo/gold brazilian clay. Bottom left to right. (green) indigo/annatto oil, (purple) indigo/himalayan rhubarb root oil. I unmolded when the soap was a...

Does your soap keep its bright green color from the unprocessed indigo powder

Did the green color fade yet in that soap?

I just made a soap with the green indigo tinctoria leaf with act charcoal layer. I hope it stays this color green and doesn't fade. It is a lovely shade of green that I have never been able to get before that actually lasted and didn't fade.

Cool design. Is it an in the pot pour?

Will the green color indigo stay green and not fade? It is a pretty green
