January 2020 | 50 Shades Valentine's Soap | KCK Soapery

Happy New Year 2020!!!

This is my first batch of soap for the new year.  It's made for Valentine's Day and I used a new heart shaped embed I found online.  As you can see in the picture above, the design was good but the texture of the soap was disappointing.  It's what I get for playing with recipes and fragrance oils or maybe I was a little too excited for my first batch that I may have poured the batter too early or removed it from the mold a little early.

Hopefully, I get to post most of this year's soap projects more than last year and that I make a better soap next time.

Ingredients used were olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, rice bran oil, shea butter, castor oil, mango butter and lye.

Colors were titanium dioxide for white and red mica.

Fragrance oil used is called 50 Shades it is described as: a seductive marriage of tained rose and wild geranium with addictive "can't live without it" notes of bergamot and gold amber.

Thank you for stopping by!

May 2014 | Black and White 50 Shades | KCK Soapery

 



 

This batch was made using coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, castor oil, mango butter and rice bran oil.  Fragranced with 50 Shades, which is described as unisex, very clean, fresh, sensual and seductive.  Colored with titanium dioxide and activated charcoal.

 

We practiced "tiger swirling" at the conference and so I decided to do it again with a little twist.  Instead of alternately pouring the colors on the cardboard from start to finish, I just poured black and white directly into the base then do the tiger swirl and top it with black.  Gave the top a texture using spoon and sprinkle a little white sparkle mica.
