Thought I'd post a few of the soaps I made recently. Not all turned out as planned, but that's okay! All but the sweet pea are CP.
Left: cherry blossom FO with some mica to cover the bad tops and also on front. Might skip the front next time.
Middle: nettle tea soap scented with tea tree eo, 5 fold orange eo, lemongrass eo, and coconut lime FO because the smell was so bad! Smells like a light orange at the moment. Soap was green from the tea, but the orange eo turned it yellow. Mostly olive oil soap. I also used 1 oz ppo beeswax with a 40% lye concentration. It was very hard to cut in 18 hours and is very hard now. I'm very happy with this and it doesn't feel too waxy. No ash either. CPOP at 170F for 2 hours.
Right: Sweet Pea HP soap with 2% sodium lactate. I'm so happy with how smooth it is. It's a tad strong so hopefully it will fade. Colored with 5 drops of ruby red.
Front left: attempted funnel swirl. Scented with blackberry musk. Not my favorite FO. Too bad it smeared!
Middle: Seized Daffodil FO soap. I was trying to go for a fluffy white top, but this was totally solid. Dug out the mixer and beat it into submission. I refused to rebatch or HP my layers!!
Thanks for looking!
