%70corn oil, 20 coconut, 10 palm, totaling 1500gr, 570 gr water w 3 ts salt, 222 gr NAOH. 6 tbsp oatmeal flour, 3 tbsp bentonite. 46gr of honeysuckle & chamomile. some mica puffs on top.
I tried a 3 layered approach but failed. Very difficult to dissolve the muddy bentonite, (I put few tbsp of water without deducting it from the lye solution. it was like artist mud when I added to the blend.) I blended everything, divided to 3 colored, but the middle was already hardened, so I gave quick whisk it was crumbly -my mistake-. poured the layers with some spoon. 2 days in the mold. its bleeding some separation? from the whisked part or maybe bentonite held some part of the oil? I don’t know. The smell of used, old corn oil was lightly present under the disguise of the FO
