    CP Coffee Soap

    This is a picture of a coffee soap I made with 3x brewed coffee and NG Cappuccino fragrance oil. I expected there would be a color difference between the outside and inside, but I didn't expect it to be so drastic. The fragrance is amazing!

    Holy Cow! Fast gel

    So I finally had the chance to soap with some of the fragrances I ordered from WSP. The first picture is of the batch scented with cranberry fizz. The second batch is with Dreamsicle. Both batches used the same base recipe and amount of fragrance oil. Both batches were mixed at the same...

    Soda Ash, CPOP and Partial Gel
