Soap Makers Help for Titanium Dioxide & Colour Fracturing 

I appreciate everything but I was wondering if you could maybe show us a tutorial on how to premix a certain amount for usage I would greatly appreciate it and thank you so much for your time and your hard efforts

1 tsp per pound of oils

+Shelita Williams Try Vanilla Color Stabilizer. It works to keep soaps their color when using fragrances with vanilla in them,

tlalc12 yes...just cosmetic. TD is used in a lot of food and medicine products...harmless.

she uses water dispersed td. that's why she uses water

you know i learned the other day there are two different types of TD! so that makes a lot more sense now =}

Florence Parker double the water to TD. Example, 2 tsp TD is 4 tsp water. I actually add my TD to the lye water. It's very hot and will mix well, but your whole batch will be lightened so you may have to add extra color/mica to the non white parts. You could also microwave or boil the water and mix the TD separately in a container if you don't want the whole batch whitened. Just make sure it's really hot.

Melissa Bush I really like the look of TD xx

***** Personal preference, makes sense...

***** Titatium Dioxide has shown links to Chroma, IBS and Respitory Lung Disease to name a few. Don't forget our skin is our largest organ in our bodies. And it's the bodies 1st line of defense. Titanium Dioxide if in soap will be easily absorbed into the body through the skin and it's made easier from our pours opening from washing w/ hot water. I would think if your making the effort to make your own soap you probably care about your body more than the average person. Point a little sparkle isn't worth the added strain put on your bodies immune system.

Justin Soga That's the truth. Pretty much everyone I've met knows this now. Sadly, most don't care & just like the look of it. I stopped using it all together. I use to be a makeup artists, so I really did a life purge. I hope more people stop using it but most won't.

Melissa Bush seems to be that way w/ most things. People like instant gratification and will deal with any repercussions later.

I'm not familiar with the oil based TD, but my guess would be 2 oil to 1 TD, so yes, that would be 1 cup oil to half cup TD. But better you check with someone who does the oil version. Does Soap Queen TV do this anybody?

Thank you'l love your soaps they are so elegant.

You'll get there Catherine

Tap water has trace minerals in it which can inhibit lather in a finished soap. I always use filtered water for my main batch, but often use tap water to mix my oxides. This is just because it's less fuss, and I believe that small amount of tap water won't make a difference in a 2lb batch.

Always use filtered water

did she tell you how much water to the TD. I would like to know

louise lill I've been soaking for 5 years and never wear gloves. I've had the soap all over my hands after the lye has been mixed in.

Lye really isn't that dangerous! You'll notice the sting if you get it on you, just wash off!

I never wear gloves,never had a problem.not even goggles
