Ok so this is my second and third batch of soap. I had trouble because the fo I used from hobby lobby seized on me so I had to quickly force it into the mold. Epic fail, they are not cute at all. I used color from wsp that came free with my order. I was unsure how to add it, so I mixed it in part of my oils but it just seemed to float around. The color was Apple red. This it's what I got. My third batch is still in the mold, not sure if I should take it out. After I poured I put them in the oven at 170, turned the oven off and left over night. However it still seems soft.
The first batch is 41.67% canola, 29.1% co, 12.5% oo, 16.67 shea. 5% sf. Add kaolin, castor, tried sugar in my lye but didn't mix in just stuck to the bottom of my bowl, I poured it anyway. Put it in a warm oven preheated to 170, turned off and left over night. I took a few out, it's hard on top, but soft everywhere else.
I did the zap test, it didn't sting or burn, but I felt something, just not discomfort. The lather from some that chipped off was great.
Second batch is 35% canola, 25% co, 10% cb, 10% castor 20% oo.
Second batch is is still in the mold, it out it in the oven over night as well. Still seemed soft.
My kitchen smells great, scent was plumeria and lotus blossom.
Even though they didn't turn out well I'm ready to jump back in, but have to wait for my shipment. Ran out of oils.
