Made some transparent MP from scratch

[topofmurrayhill]

This MP has only been poured but not yet melted!

The base should be fairly close to water white, but I colored and scented this entire batch. The fragrance is Sweet Cakes Pomegranate (Bendel Type).

Very nice. Will be interested to see how it melts and remelts

This is one of Fioravanti's recipes from her book. You can find it there. The solvents in this case are are propylene glycol, glycerol and sorbitol.

Ask and ye shall receive. This is about a minute 10 seconds in the microwave, stir and repour.

In the meantime...see next post.

 

[topofmurrayhill]

In the meantime, the soaps from the initial pour have become more transparent.

I've asked a question and I haven't yet received.
