HeavenScentU Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 making these soaps are so much fun. Now I have two loves candles and soaps. Here are a few photos. No color has been added just herbs I was hoping they would be all white or cream color. I didn't realize the herbs would change the color so much, but I love the natural colors. I had some extra pieces from the Lavender soap that I just made balls. 1st Lavender Olive Oil soap, 2nd Huckleberry Soy soap, 3rd Mango Sage Soy soap.[ATTACH]10110[/ATTACH][ATTACH]10111[/ATTACH][ATTACH]10112[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have been making soap for two weeks now. I used to make soap back in 1998 and stopped. I don't think I was ready to make them because I just couldn't get into it and started making candles instead. I decided to make them again after researching on and off for a year, and started up again two weeks ago. I still had all my soap making books and recipes thank God, so this time I am ready. The soy soap seems to be very luxurious, very lathery and soft large bubbles. I am very happy with all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenScentU Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks everyone. I was concerned about the herbs too, because I didn't think it would have much color, but I am happy that each batch has been different. My hubby wants to make soap every chance we aren't busy. So now. We have got our cost down to .29 cents a bar. I am not sure if that is good or bad. Should it be less??? Not including labeling, no plans for that yet. This is a soy soap and has very large silky bubbles, light fluffy lather almost like a good lotion. The recipe I had was what I used from the first time making soap. I almost threw it out because we used to move alot and I was tired of lugging the soap supplies around, good thing I am a hoarder... Why did I stop.... Now me and the hubby are addicted. HELP!!!! This is an Oatmeal/Cinnamon soap.[ATTACH]10129[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Nice looking soaps. Dang that's some white soap on the first one!I was thinking the same thing, how'd it get to be soooo white when she used OO?? I'm jealous fo sho!! I LOVE the au natural soaps, you did good!!

HeavenScentU Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Isn't the OO soap supposed to be white?? This is my first soap that I have ever made with OO so I guess I don't know any better. I like it but the soap is very slow to lather it is mostly light bubbles with a little bit of lather. Love the white color, so I am going to make a plain soy soap and hopefully I will get the white color that I love, with just scent and no herbs.

donna4909 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Isn't the OO soap supposed to be white?? Olive oil in soap recipes usually discolors to a greenish or yellowish hue, especially if there's a high percentage of the OO. Regardless, it's gorgeous!

GrandmaArial Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Very nice. I really like the look of the Huckleberry Soy. How did you make the balls? Did you use a mold?And your oatmeal soap looks like I hope mine will when it finishes cureing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
