Opposites attract!

Soap #26 Black Jacks made 2/01/2016 ready after 2/02/2016

Getting back into work, I gifted all of the black soap except for one bar so felt the need to make another batch and let it cure out

Olive oil
Coconut oil
Palm oil
Rice Bran oil
Shea Butter
Avocado oil
Water
Sodium Hydroxide

Liquorice fragrance oil in a cylinder mould, some plain and some with added white chips, with silk, activated charcoal and kaolin clay, both said to draw out impurities so good for problem skin. Smells good enough to eat too.


Soap #27 Cream Silk made 3/01/2016 ready after 03/02/2016
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Palm oil
Rice Bran oil
Shea Butter
Avocado oil
Water
Sodium Hydroxide

No colour or fragrance just cream, silk and kaolin clay.


Lavender and Lemongrass ready now (this soap was actually first made in November).

I also did a rebatch of some bars where the colour wasn't as I had planned, I wanted purple but instead had a murky grey so into the crockpot it all went along with some more yummy butters and a good spoonful of Purple Passion mica, I love how some of the soap didn't take the colour and stayed white, it looks very rustic!

Lavender and Lemongrass essential oils

Chocolate Orange Truffle and Black Jacks...

Soap # 24 made 15/11/2015 best after 15/12/2015

Chocolate Orange Truffle scented with 'chocolate orange' fragrance oil coloured with cocoa powder and orange and brown micas with titanium dioxide. I used a cylinder mould for a different look.

Soap # 25 made 22/11/2015 best after 22/12/2015

Black Jack, scented with 'liquorice' fragrance oil coloured with activated charcoal which is said to draw out impurities so should be great for problematic skin, along with the kaolin clay to cleanse and exfoliate dead skin cells and debris from the surface. I make no claims here....

It's totally strange that black soap still gives white lather....
