September 2017 | Satsuma | KCK Soapery

Scented with "Satsuma" fragrance oil which is described to be a burst of mandarin orange.

Colors used were titanium dioxide for white, a mixture of red and yellow mica for orange and green mica.  Titanium Dioxide is a natural whitening agent found in almost anything white.  Micas are use in cosmetics.

Blending lye with Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Palm oil, Mango butter, and Castor oil.

Main batter was colored white.

Green was dropped in to the pot at 4 different places of the white.

Gave the pot a little swirl.

Poured the green and white swirl into the mold.

Made lines of orange and green on top.

Drew lines from one end to the other using chopstick.

I like the way wet soap looks.

Off the mold.

This is how soaping is when everything turned out as expected.

Happy Soaping everyone!

Thank you for dropping by!

July 2017 | Satsuma | KCK Soapery

This is scented with Satsuma fragrance oil.  It is described as energizing and intoxicating and everybody who used it loves it.

Unfortunately, this batch will have to go to my "failed soap" category. 

It has been two weeks and it is too soft to cut.

I needed the mold for another project and pushed the soap loaf out. It did came out but the batter on the sides on all four corners were stuck.

This is definitely going to be a personal use batch.

I will keep you guys updated for how it looked once they are cut.

Thank you for stopping by!
