So excited. I did the hot process in a crockpot instead of cold pour. I didn't want to wait 4-6 weeks to use it. I think I used the wrong thing to color the soap with. I got the Sparkle Emerald Green Soap Color Bar from WSP not realizing it was for M&P. I used it anyway. As soon as I started mixing it in the soap I got a grey mess with hints of the green. I want to do a green swirl since I used Lemongrass & Spearmint essential oils.
This is the recipe I used (numbers from soapcalc):
Coconut Oil 20 % - 6.4 oz
Lard 30% - 9.6 oz
Olive Oil 25 % - 8 oz
Shea Butter 20 % - 1.6 oz
Castor Oil 5% - 1.6 oz
Water 12.16 oz
Lye 4.31 oz
Hardness 42
Cleansing 14
Conditioning 54
Bubbly 18
Creamy 32
Iodine 56
INS 148
So far with the little pieces I had left in the pot it has great lather.
Hopefully I can get pics uploaded here in a few.
I'm just excited that I didn't have a total flop. Now I want to tell everyone. Is this normal..hehe.
