Hey folks!
I'm new to soapmaking and have just gotten my first batch of cured CP soap ready to distribute.
The recipe uses Olive oil, Almond oil, Avocado oil, Coconut oil
Blue Ultramarine oxyde, Violet oxyde, Titanium dioxyde and sodium lactate.
I used Peppermint, Lemon and Spearmint EOs.
I finished it off with some teabag leaves.
I noticed, now 5 weeks later, that while it lathers perfectly, it leaks colour. And since I've never had coloured soap in my life, I don't know what to expect when using it and wondered how normal this is. If it is, I can at least let users know what to expect, and if it isn't normal, to expect that it's a mistake in my blending but it's still safe to use.
For what it's worth: I mixed the colours at a tsp to tbsp of almond oil ratio and blended with the milk frother.
See the image below for an example of leaking.
Would love feedback!
Thank you
Vic
