My First Soap Impression

Since the mistake last time, I've been thinking to avoid using castor oil and use other type of oil instead, not because I'm afraid of it but because I want to make s solid color soap since depending on the ratio of caster oil will determine how transparent the soap be. I got myself some shea butter and jojoba oil this time, both are very good oil for coating the skin with oil during winter. I whisk the soap a lot longer this time for some reason even though the hardness ratio is higher due to shea butter. Instead of using water, I used the brown rice water by soaking for a period of time, brown rice is good source of vitamin B and will add extra nutrient to the soap. I also tried using spirulina powder for more defined coloring and I also wanted to try out swirling technique by pouring color on different spot, then slowly draws the pattern along the coloring spot using a wooden stick. however, the solution turned out to be too thick for color to get in, so I learned that I'm suppose to do the coloring part when the solution is still runny and just starting to get trace.


Big news for me, I was also able to put stamp on my soap successfully this time, stamp sure give the soap extra personality.
