Some color help, please?

For a name, given that it is going to be pure white, I am thinking about naming it "Chastity." Should be a big seller.

I make an uncolored, unscented soap...I call it "Bare Naked". Call yours..."Nearly Naked".

I know a soaper who makes Honey & Oats Olive Oil Castile for her 3-year-old grandson who has eczema. She uses baby cereal for the soap. She then throws colloidal oatmeal into his bath water for a soothing soak. Colloidal oatmeal has the ability to stay suspended in the water where any other form of oatmeal sinks to the bottom.

Thank you for this information.

Hmmm. Is it my iMac or your camera? Those look tan to me. Maybe they will whiten up as time goes by. I hope, I hope, I hope.

@Zany_in_CO You're right. They are not as white as I was thinking they'd be!

I didn't say anything because I was thinking that it might be the lighting. The soap looks white in the mold photos, kind of tan in the first two cut photos, but lighter in the last.

Unless you are using a white or clear oil/butter and clear FO, you're always going to get an off-white color.

ZNSC makes a very white soap.

It (ZNSC) really really does

No-gel helps too, to get a creamier, more opaque white (as does soda ash ).
But I doubt that @John Harris is able to avoid gel in his huge slab mould, with mere household means.

The soap was still a bit warm when we cut it - warm, but quite hard. Maybe when it is completely cool the white will show more. I'll keep you posted.

I should think it would be cold enough in Montreal right now to keep it cool in the garage overnight.

To freeze it solid over night!

Oh my. Well, I've never tried putting it in the freezer but I know folks who have done that to keep a batch from gelling. Hmmm.
