So pretty! Did you use Milky Way molds? WSP has them on sale and I want to know how easy they are to work with CP.

I used food molds from dx.com, and the smallest flowers are from some chinese ebay store.

SOOOOO pretty!!!! love the look of the colours. were they infusions or did you put powder in soap?

Your colors are really pretty.

I used infusion but a little bit of powder came through the sieve.

I love the orange and the red.

I love the green ones. Is that the laurel berry oil?

 

[Miha Engblom]

Yes! that is laurel berry oil... I was expecting it to get brown, but I made that soap some time in january I think , and it is still green... and I did kept it near a window. I used 33 % laurel berry oil and the rest olive oil. I think the green flower has around 20% laurel berry oil (and maybe it is 2 months old).
Not all the laurel berry oils are keeping green, I have been buying an aleppo soap made in Syria and that one is pretty brown. I actually cut it in 2 because I wanted it to last longer (it was a 200 g cube). I will attach a picture of the syrian aleppo soap.
The orange soap is made with annatto seeds infused in OO.

Does the laurel berry soap have a strong smell?

 

[Miha Engblom]

the cube did not smell almost anything , but my soap still smells... my husband likes the smell... I hate it!
