perfect except some soda ash on top and the fact that it ended up becoming big fat soap pieces(because of banana slices). Huge pieces lol. But I bought a hand steamer for the soda ash. So I didn't follow any recipes for this one I made my own recipe. I used 25% organic coconut oil, 25% organic palm oil that is processed in a way that is safe for the environment, 45% extra virgin OO, and 5% caster oil. Then I used almond milk that was frozen in to ice cubes for my lye with just abit of distilled water at the bottom of my milk ice to get the lye going. I then controlled my lye temperature by putting it out side in the snow it worked wonders. One of the joys of living in Northern BC in Canada lol. I made one cup of white soap with TD and kaolin clay for my first layer and then mixed 2 oz of mashed banana with kaolin clay again in to my oils that I then mixed in my lye at 84 Degrees F(1 oz of mashed banana per pound of soap). Then I added my gold mica and 
banana FO. I then poured my second layer and put my banana embeds on top and it went straight into the freezer. Even though I used sodium lactate it's still a little soft after unmolding a day and a half later. Well that's it my kids wil finally get their banana soap they wanted. It also smells wonderful. I am also really happy that I skipped gel faze with a water discount, soaping at 84 F and getting it in the freezer as soon as possible. This was a very fun project.
Thanks so much! I read online that your soaps last 6 months with mashed fruit I don't know if that includes curing time so that's what I am guessingI am totally crushing on your banana soap over here.
How long will the soap be good for with actual mashed banana in it?
Love that you used the snow to keep your lye temp in the snow - awesome!
. But we will use it as soon as it is done curing.Thanks so much I hope they are my first attempt at making banana soap was a fail cosmeticly nice soap but they turned army green lol.Amazing job! Those kids better be happy.
Thanks so much! My first banana soap I made I used the Vanilla stabilizer and it turned army green almost brown so I learnt my lesson
Thank you I'm really excited about the banana embeds too! I used 2 different FOs half and half the first one is just banana from Voyageur (canadian soap suppliers) and a banana cream pie FO from Suds n' Scents the mixture is amazing I will let everyone know if the scent fades after it cures! I don't know who WSP is are they any good.
I’m not sure how the OP made her slices but you can find molds all over Etsy. Here’s one.
I think your right because I didn't think to subtract the bananas it's my first time trying it but I will remember that for next time thank you.
Thank you I am so thrilled these turned out. I have only been making soap for 3 months LOL I have officially made 24 batches since Sept lol
I just counted last night but I have been practicing my layers over and over I also took your advices to make layers to make separate batches for each layer I like that. The way I get that straight line is to pour my layer when it's thinner before it gets to thick some times it still gets abit thick. I made the banana slices with a mold I bought from Van Yula in the states they have the best molds I could find. They also have really nice men's line of men's fragrance and stuff for shaving soaps. For the color I use extra virgin OO with my hard oils using titanium dioxide and I get a nice cream colored off white. Then I used poppyseeds to press in to the banana slices to make banana seeds they were so fun to make.This mold is from Van Yulay they have the best molds
Thanks so much I had so much fun making the bananaThey look so good! You absolutely nailed the colour of the embeds
slices that I can't wait for my other embed molds to come in so I can make more lol.
Should I set my freezer to a colder postion or would that ruin my food in there! It seems hard to prevent gell faze unless I use single bar molds.
