I like to add EO to the clay and let that sit some time before adding to oils followed by lye. Theoretically, adding the EO-clay mixture at trace might help better retain the EO scent since saponification has already begun.
What a beautiful purple! I was under the impression that using a yellowish olive oil would not give purple results. What’s “blueberry soap”? And what are your percentages of infused oils? Thanks
Sustainable palm oil is a myth. Once ecosystems are disrupted with palm production there’s no going back. It’s cheaper though because the collective cost is not considered.
