So I've been watching tutorials for swirling etc. on YouTube - a lot of people mention mixing their colors with a "carrier" oil before using. I've done one batch with color so far (two separate colors) and mixed each with an ounce of olive oil that I included in my recipe. It seemed to work just fine.
However, on a lot of the tutorials, folks add TD or mica to like a sweet almond oil or something and toss it in without measuring or do a small amount on top for a mica swirl. But they never talk about the recipe.
My question is, if I'm using a small amount of lighter oil in small quantities like that, do I need to include it in my soap calc?
