    My first batch of CP soap

    I'll have to purchase some Titanium Dioxide. I have used olive oil now in two batches of cp soap, only one turned olive green. I am thinking the reason is because of the tea tree oil I added. I always wondered how people came up with a white bar of soap, I'll try the Titanium Dioxide next time.

    I used Pure Seduction by Natures Garden Candles supplies. The only non-white oil that I used was Extra Virgin Olive Oil which was golden. I would like to use Jojoba Oil but that is also golden, would you know where I could find a clear Jojoba Oil or if there is a clear Jojoba Oil? The oils that...

    My first batch of CP soap

    To my suprise, the soap was hard enough to cut just after 13 hours of soaping. But my swirl did not show because the soap looks like lemon pound cake color and that's okay. Any suggestions on how to get a white bar of soap?
