ladysj Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well I did it It's not quite as thin as I would prefer I'm trying to get a consistency for malibu tubes. I made this with soy, oo, palm and mango butter. It called for SWO but mine smells kind of funky so I didn't want to take a chance on it smelling funky in the soap. I added rose clay and I had a little silk powder that I added as well.I tried a little bit on my hands and it's incredible. It lathers wonderfully and my hands feel very silky. I hope this is what I've been searching for as a facial cleanser. I think I may take a little of it and add some sugar or raspberry fiber for exfoliation and try on my face. Any thoughts or suggestions on this is greatly appreciated.Any whoooooooo I still can't seem to get a pic that does justice to my products. It's a beautiful light pink color. I would like some testers for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candledoll Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I will be 57 in a week -- so the "oldest" should get to be a tester!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillenal Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Very pretty. It looks snow white in the picture.It is very hard to get it thin enough for malibus without it separating. I have worked long and hard on that but I do have some in malibus being tested. I added collodial oatmeal for a facial soap and so far everyone is liking it, myself included. I love making cream soap but am having a hard time with consistency for a finished product. I had better luck making a sugar scrub. That worked easily but I really want the facial soap in malibus to work. It should not be so hard to get the consistency right but it is hard.

ladysj Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 How do you all get yours so creamy.This is mine and I whipped the dickens out of it with my electric beater?Try adding just a little bit of water at a time. Add a little and whip really well. It looks like you need more liquid but not a whole lot more. Try 1/2 ounce at a time. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 For malibu tubes definately use the full amount of recommended liquid with no discounts. I've done that recently and was able to put the soap in lotion pump type bottles to pump it out and really like that. I'll still offer the thicker soap, but like the "liquidy" type more.Do you add your rose clay before or after the cook?Faye_SC the key is liquid. IMHO using more liquid up front yields better results then adding it after it rots. Some discount the liquid so they can add other goodies like extracts after it rots. I've decided to save my extracts as they are costly for leave-on products like serums and facial creams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added my rose clay before the cook. I'm thinking I should have added it last for it to keep it's properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
