Jasmine Soap

[CareBear]

Tomorrow I am going to make some Jasmine scented soap. Jasmine is just my favorite scent in the world.

I have Peak's Jasmine FO - what level would you all recommend? Any words of advice - like does it accelerate or anything?

And what color? White? Yellow?

I am not quite sure what recipe I'm using. Maybe:

anola 10%

Coconut 20%

Lard 35%

Olive 20%

Castor 5%

PKO 10%

This give me:

Hardness 41

Cleansing 20

Conditioning 53

Fluffy 24

Stable 26

Iodine 56

INS 151

If you are using a Peak FO, this is the first place I look to see how it reacts

Then I look here

As for the color of a soap or candle, that is entirely up to you. I've never seen a Jasmine so I would use google images to find a jasmine and decide from there.

As for your recipe, I've never soaped with Canola so I don't know about that. I use coconut, lard, castor and PKO, along with other oils in all of my soaps except castille. I believe that coconut, lard, olive and pko can all be considered hard oils. If so that would make 85% of your recipe hard oils. That is probably a little high. I could be wrong on the lard as a hard oil though. Olive is liquid but makes a rock hard bar so can be considered a hard oil.

thank you! I knew scent reviews were out there bud didn't kow exactly where.

Can anyone tell me about swirling with Micas? I'm thinking of just leaving the soap white and doing a nice mica swirl...
