    Valentines hp

    Had the heart made from Christmas soaps so decided to make a valentines soap with hp. Colored with Brazilian pink clay, uncoloured and thought raspberry powder might be pinkish in hp but it’s the greyish parts. Tried for a swirl but it thickened up too fast. I still love it😁. Scented with...

    My Soap

    Long story and they were quite the chore but I’m happy with them. Pretty sure I went against soap laws of physics. Used a recipe that’s supposed to last at thin trace for awhile, didn’t cause temp were too low, 80 so they thickened to fast to squeeze through the tube bottle plus I used calendula...

    What happened 😲

    I used olive oil drained from anise powder, ground sifted anise powder, lavender and peppermint eo. I used pork lard as I realized I didn’t have enough coconut oil (8 oz co). It was nice out of the mold and minute by minute it’s getting pinker 🧐 For colorant charcoal powder for bottom 2 layers...
