First salt bars

[BrambleNBumble]

This is my first batch of salt bars. I used coconut, olive, castor, and rice bran oils. I scented it with grapefruit, tangerine, and lime EO's and it smells so amazing. The color is from the tangerine oil and I love it.

Those look awesome. They're way prettier than my salt bars.

They're weaping a bit but I hope it won't be for long.

Nice and love the color! Yours came out much better than my only attempt at salt bars.

Thanks!! I didn't use a one to one ratio of salt to oils but only about 75%, and I added the salt at a light trace versus a medium and I still had to blend it a bit longer before I put it into my mold. Once in the mold I put it in my oven at 175 degrees for about two hours, popped it into my freezer just long enough for me to be able to touch the top of the soap and the sides of the mold and not burn myself. Once out of the mold I cut it right away and it was still fairly warm in the center but I put it on my soap shelf in my closet and this is how they looked today.

Good job. My first definitely didn't look like that.

Lovely! Every time I make salt bars they weep like crazy. I figured it was the humidity down here in south mississippi. Then again I never put them in the oven either. I wonder if putting them in the oven would cut down on the weeping?
