special order

This is the first entire loaf this hobbyist is selling to a friend of a friend. Despite some quibbles, I'm pleased at how it turned out. The scent is In the Dark » EO Calc - Essential Oil Calculator and it is incredible, very sensuous, maybe even makes you think of things to do in the dark ; I would not have thought to put orange, lavender, cedarwood, and anise together but I highly recommend it.

I was going for a 75/25 main color/accent colors. When I was pouring, it seemed like I was pouring sooo much of the accents but now it looks very minimal. I was also guilty of 'just one more burst of the stick blender' so it got medium trace on me. I had wanted thinner trace for some more wispiness. Oh well.
Thanks for the look see!

It reminds me of granite.

Beautiful! They will be thrilled.

 

[AliOop]

So good! If they decide they don’t like it, please let me know… (like I need more soap, hah!)

What did you use to get that perfect pink??

I have long used rose gold mica from Bramble Berry and am always pleased with it.

@lsg , @AliOop , @KimW , this feedback is super helpful. Before visiting here I was actually debating making a do-over to give her a better design. But now I'll just go with this.

Absolutely a do-over is needed. Meanwhile, I'll take that not-good-enough soap off your hands as a favor to you. You can send it right over with the Meadowfoam Seed Oil.

Nice try, there, I see what you're up to.

 

[AliOop]

Subtlety. Need to work on that.

Nice soap and I’m intrigued. I’m definitely going to try the eo blend.
