wincie Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hey guys...just got my soap stuff from BCN yesterday and have made 2 soaps.The 1st one is scented Oatmeal, Milk and Honey...I put some oats in there for the look (and exfoliant too...right??)The 2nd one is Lavender...I doubt u can see it but it's a very pale shade of purple...that third pic is the underside of the lavender with the seed/buds...thought i had mixed enough for it to be cool and distributed evenly...but no luck with that..i'll try again soon though Thanks for viewing!!!Winsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Very nice soaps. Maybe try dry baby oatmeal, it is lightweight and mixes better and stays suspended in my M&P soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Heck girl, I use my melt and pour as soon as it's solid and comes out of the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Both turned out GREAT! You went all out for your first M&P and it shows! I put mine in the freezer too its easier on the molds (I've cracked so many fighting to get them out when I don't put them in the freezer). I use mine right away too, its the GREAT thing about M&P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamtam Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Those are really nice for first try! I have gotten addicted too, will post some pics of mine soon.. I am making mostly herbal soaps with essential oils. I have had good luck with grinding herbs, oatmeal, powdered milk, etc in a mortar and pestle type bowl, the bowl is pottery with grooves on the inside so its grinds really fine if necessary. I wait till the soap is only warm to the touch and starting to really thicken before I add the ground ing., It will usually stay suspended, if not, wait another minute or two to cool more and stir a little, then pour. It works good for evenly distributed herby look. It's so much fun to try all the possibilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
