My 3 latest CP soaps. First ones since last Sept. Enjoyed the process ;-)

Thank you...no smell of mango at all

Thank you - I just used the mango puree as the water content. It was hard to find info and I don't understand 'water discount'

Mango soap - using mango puree. Was an awful brown but then changed to a more pleasant colour. Very soft soap, waited 3 days before cutting.

sorry

First time trying coffee (frozen cubes added to lye) Dried coffee grinds added and Cocoa for the dark base colour. Looks ok...could have had more 'cream'

My first five soaps - shrink wrapped and hopefully can sell, just to make a little back. Won't make any money for the time, effort and outlay I put in, but its so much fun.

Great tips - thank you everyone!

Thank you!

Is it ok to shrink wrap your soap after 6 weeks of curing? Tried looking for an answer but couldn't find one. CP soap.

Thank you....it was for a FB group challenge. Personally wouldn't bother again but I like to experiment and try these different techniques, otherwise you never learn. Easier to use micas :-) Good to know the colours don't last....I will keep for personal use

Thank you - Yes the pink is from the paprika

Turmeric, Paprika and Charcoal. First time trying oil infused spices. Happy with the colours!

Quick question. I soaked some saffron threads in oil, hoping this will add some colour to my CP soap. Do I remove the threads or leave in? I don't want to colour skin when using the soap Thanks in advance
