You can do this method with any of your favorite recipes. Mine is Olive Oil 40%, Coconut Oil 25%, Palm Oil 20%, Cocoa Butter 5%, Shea Butter 5%, Castor Oil 5%, superfat is 5%. Please run your recipe through a lye calculator. My batch is 70 ounces. I used about 800 grams of water in total. 600 grams to mix my lye. 100 grams for the sugar syrup, and 100 grams divided equally across my colorants. I keep my titanium dioxide premixed in a 64 oz bottle with water. I use 2-3 tablespoons of sodium lactate. Please be aware that hot process soap still needs 4-6 weeks of curing time. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you out! Thank you for watching!
You could have used tumeric for that color, save money on micas and pigments using spices. Have you considered playing with coloring with spices and clays?
Phyllis Cruz I have all the clays and spices. I’ve used them all at one point over the years. I use them when I feel the need. Turmeric will eventually fade to a tan so that would not have worked. I have a soap made with just turmeric and it is now a light tan color. It does not stay orange unless you use a lot of it. You also can’t use too much in soap, as spices can be a skin irritant to some people. So I use them sparingly. Besides, micas and pigments are fun and open up many creative possibilities. I leave the natural colorants for my essential oil soaps.
+Miss Sha Hi! I am not sure. I would have to see your method. You might be adding too much fluid. The good news is that it should eventually get hard, but it might take a few months.
