MaryinCary Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Mustard? Who woulda thunk it....very, very nice soap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Very nice looking soap! I love lemongrass EO.I like the texture on top of the bars too! The color you got from the mustard is interesting; reminds me of terra cotta pottery.I sometimes use palm fruit oil to get a nice lemony yellow. It's sold here in our grocery store under the brand name Carotino. A little goes a LONG way. It's the only colorant I've used so far for any yellow in my bars. (I am getting some yellow oxide soon though, to see how I like it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ok girl.. Ask your Grandma about mustard packs.. (or anyone here remember them..lol)I highly recommend not using mustard again as coloring girl. Mustard burns the skin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Mustard tastes good on hot dogs though I do like the color of those. But will learn through you and not use mustard as a colorant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Also, when you cut a log with botanicals on the top, turn the log over so that the botanicals are on the bottom. That way you don't get the scratches from dragging the botanicals thru the soap.I like the color, someone said terra cotta. I Agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
