Just got a new round mold that worked a treat, and made a green embed with spirulina and my M&P soap. This is an accidental recipe that's become a favorite. I originally made it to use up some almond oil: 65% Lard, 20% almond and 15% coconut. EO is patchouli, and I added sugar to the water before the lye.
It was a slowpoke to trace (soaped cool), was actaually just after emulsion I got bored with stick blending and poured it in a mold. The indigo gave me a pale blue, I was hoping for a brighter blue, but I didn't want to gel and melt the M&P. I do wonder if mixing the indigo with the citric acid water and adding that to the batter was the way to go. Is indigo pH sensitive? Anyway the faded denim goes well with the scent.
Its a slowpoke to harden, and was 3 days before it was hard enough to unmold, but came out easily with the liner and the help of a salmon can.
This is the embed made in my long mold & colored with spirulina.
This is how I had it set up in the mold
After unmolding:
Look transparent!
