Well, I did not rebatch and here is how they turned out. Very good. Does anyone know if adding pumpkin traditionally creates a more "conditioning" bar automatically?

I superfat at 7%.

So now I've been using palm kernel oil with coconut oil (the initial recipe I posted) I know typically the " go to bar" has olive, coconut, palm and some other element but that bar did not get the same reception.

Palm kernel my apologies. I know the difference. I recently switched to palm oil and got a different reception than the recipe using palm kernel. I was shocked to say the least.

My other recipes have around 20% co and not palm kernel and I increase the olive. And various others. I was quite surprised that they preferred this recipe but it may be because of where they work.

And yes mine started acting funky when I added the FO.

I use co and pko together all the time, most people I know prefer this recipe over others. And ugh! I hate to rebatch I was doing a tiger stripe.

40.5 oz total oil weight, 5.8 oz lye 9.8 oz water 18.5 oz olive oil 12 oz CO, 9 oz PKO 1 oz Shea. 3 oz of Fragrance Oil, 2.5 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt added to the water before lye. I added 4 oz of pumpkin in at light trace. And poured.

Hey soapers. I just made some pumpkin soap that smells divine but its super watery even with a water discount. Now its starting to sweat water and it honestly smells a lot like FO too so I'm hoping its not sweating the FO for some reason. This is my first time making this and my first time...

Do you just want the scent of baby oil? Because they sell FOs with that scent.

Aline, the white amber is an FO for soap??? I would LOVE if you would send me some as a sample please PM me.

Here they are! No better pictures yet. The were not high lather initially but I'm hoping curing them longer will make it better.

I will post pics once I figure out how to. Lol.

Shunt2011 thank you! And I use olive oil coconut oil palm oil and a small amount of Shea.

:( I don't have ANY white or cream pigments. Could I achieve a cream color by adding a very SMALL amount of yellow? Lol. I'm desperate here
