Carriegsxr6 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I was in the process of moving into a new place so I had to hold off on any new creations for almost 2 months. Let me tell ya, it wasn’t easy. I use candle and soap making as a way to tell my self "good job" and get self gratification. Doing without and not being able to be creative really makes one feel gloomy. But finally after getting all settled in, I was able to whip up this batch using lavender and menthol essential oils. Very soothing scent when mixed together. I colored with lavender fields and sea foam green ultramarines from MMS. I got so excited towards the end that I forgot to add the mango butter and castor oil I had set aside to add at trace. So I ended up with 4% super fat, as well as a 30% water discount. This one was made with Coconut, Olive, Sunflower, Palm, Ricebran and Sesame Seed. (It should have also contained the mango and castor)Very conditioning yet hard bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 After just two days of curing, I took a bar in the shower, and this one bubbles like crazy. I miss my soap.
