I tried the orange and patchouli. It's a very nice combo. At first the orange was extremely strong but now it's starting to fade.
Just got two new EO's today. Rosemary and Basil.
Not sure if I should mix them together or mix them with something else.
I bet it's the fragrance with the rebatched soap.
I put probably 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, maybe more. I think I will have to try the micas because it just bleeds so much.
Do any natural colorants give a good blue, green or red?
The first picture is a rebatch and it bleeds also. I grated the pieces and remelted them and added water. No extra colorant but the fragrance does make it brown.
I've only been making soap for a few months but in the ones I used colorants in it's been bleeding pretty bad.
I used cocoa power and I used a liquid colorant from NG.
What would you suggest to use to color our soaps?
Thank you in advanced.
My husband got me
Orange
Lavender
Patchouli
Tea tree
And some activated charcoal(colorant)
The only EO I used before was eucalyptus and I use about 1.5 oz for 4 pounds of soap.
I would love to make an orange and patchouli soap but how much should I do?
We put 1 oz of eucalyptus EO in here and it's just so strong. I know the scent will fade once it is fully cured but right now it's strong. I heard it's a nice combo though that's why we wanted to try it.
