When to add certain additives to my HP milk soap...

[Soapanic17]

Hello everyone! I have a few questions about my hot process goat milk soap process... First, I know that goat milk soap will naturally be darker because of the lye-milk interacting differently, but I want to swirl the soap with different clays, so should I add the clays at trace or after cook? Should I also mix it with water to mix up clumps because of the clay? In the past, I have tried mixing in the clays but the colors didn't show up quite as I liked, so have looked into titanium dioxide. When should I add this and how much for a batch? My batches are usually around 2 pounds. Also, any tips and processes on how to successfully swirl hot process milk soap would be greatly appreciated! Thank yall so much!
