Walnut shell experiment

[Todd Ziegler]

Here is a couple soaps I did a couple of days ago.

Swarm has fine ground walnut shells in it and it's unscented. I don't know if my temperature was to high because those are not drag marks from cutting it but rather drag marks from softened walnut shells. I pulled a little out and they smushed in between my fingers. Maybe they will dry out and work as a scrub after curing for a couple of months.

Nuclear is my first swirl that actually came out the way I intended for it to do. I used a wonderful combination of honey clementine, lemon & cherry and it smells awesome. Enjoy!

They both look great. I really like the look of Swarm. When I have used ground walnut shells I find they do get wet and blotchy like oatmeal can at times but will dry out with cure time and give light exfoliation.

Thanks for the compliment. I was hoping that they would dry out. I have some stearic spots on the nuclear but I don't mind them because with time they really don't look that bad.
