Ugliest soap ever! - first attempt of swirling, using fragrance oil and sodium lactat

[Meltiongson]

I made this batch yesterday. And i've got some problems in the process: first i started to layer the soap and because of my stupidness, i forgot to add the FO and after i layer it, i leave some for piping and thats the time i remember that i forgot to add the fo. So instead i add it to batter for piping and i notice that when i put the fo, its too much fo for the batter, but i still continue. The batter is already thick so i decided to pipe it but when i started piping it i notice that there are liquid coming out from the piping tips and i became worried. I shove some batter that i piped and mixed it again but still some liquid is coming out from the batter so i decided to contiue and pipe it instead. I keep checking it last night to see if the liquid would sink to the soap but it did not. And earlier i checked it and its already good enough to cut but still soft, and now its cut when i poked the upper part of the soap which the one i piped, some liquid is coming out. And its so ugly!! I like the swirl though.

Ugly soaps:

Sounds like a bit of an ordeal. Sooooo not ugly though. They look like choc caramel swirl cake. Choc caramel swirl cake will never look ugly. Therefore, your soaps cannot look ugly. They look ridiculously delicious. I need to waddle off and search for some chocolate now.

I did that too the other day, forgot to put my EOs in until I was ALMOST done my soap. thankfully, mine didn't have pretty swirls like yours has. I think it turned out nice, likely not the way you intended, but they still look great!

If the FO amount is enough for the whole soap but it only in the piped parts, doesn't it make it very concentrated there? Will that cause irritation?

I almost forgot to put my lye yesterday I was SB-ing and SB-ing and I thought... something is wrong here. then i looked to the left and there it was, my lye container still full

your soaps are not ugly at all. i agree with Derpina, they look like cakes!

I don't think they are ugly either. However I too would be concerned with the concentration of your FO in just the piped portion.

Im not sure if it can cause irritation as i've never used FO before. But i think its too much FO for that small batter that i mixed with. Hope it would not cause irritation though.

Thank you all for appreciating.. I love the swirl too, i used cocoa powder and turmeric powder for color. Should i remove the top part of the soap? The one i piped?

How much fragrance did you use by weight?

Ugliest soap ever! - first attempt of swirling, using fragrance oil and sodiu...

I planned to use 30g raspberry fo per 700g oils but instead of using it in 700g of oil ( or more than that because of the lye mixture) i add it to somewhere 1/4 or 1/8 of my soap batter.

They are not ugly at all! I love the swirls!

Thanks i love the swirls too but i really don't like what i did with the top. I think the FO separated or something.

I like the top part too. It looks like a piece of cake with extra frosting! The frosting could be lesser but not too bad!

Too bad there's something wrong with it. Some liquid keeps leaking on it i might remove the top though

Many times if I know I am using an fo that accelerates and/or turns dark I seperate my batter and only add the fo to the part of the batter. No, it does not bother the use of the soap, maybe if you were washing with just the section with the fo you would notice. After all, you are wetting the entire bar and diluting the fo. You just have to make sure the fo has been mixed in well. The leaking part is most likely your fo that did not mix in well with the thicker traced soap.

Oh i would like to ask, should i leave it just like that or should i wipe the excess oil?

Leave it like it is for now. I once had a super oily soap and it dries up in 2 weeks. Give it some time. You can always cut later on if it doesn't work out.
