coffeebean Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 How do you get your soaps such a dark color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBShafeena Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thank you all for the compliments on the soaps. I like doing melt and pour when I want to soap but basically don't have the energy or patience for cp, lol. I was going to do some cp the other night, that was my intent anyway, but by the time I got everything done around here (dinner, feeding my 8 horses, mucking stalls, dealing with my cats, the feral cats, the ducks, the dog, lol, eeeeiiiieeeeiiiioooo) I had no energy left and it was already past 10 p.m. sooo I put it off to this weekend.The color in the Margaritaville soap is a neon green/yellow and the orange soap is just a mix of red and yellow together so I could get a dark orange. I find melt and pour most time take color really well, less is better not like cp, depending on what you are using. I also find that the m&P hold scent much better as well but I do love cp, it's my first love so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeebean Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Do you use mica coloring to get that dark or the liquid? It seems like I can't get real dark colors with the liquid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBShafeena Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 No, as I mentioned I used red and yellow (regular, non neon) to make the dark orange. I put more red than yellow and this is what I got. The mp I used does not have glycerine as the first or water as the first ingredient, it has coconut oil, palm oil first and I find a difference in the mp you can buy that don't have those two ingredients as the first ingredients. Perhaps that is what makes the difference in the coloring of the soap. I find this mp base more like a cp soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcandletarts2 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Can I ask where you found the mp soap with the oil ingredients first on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBShafeena Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I get my mp from K&W Specialties here in Canada. Ingredients are: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerine, Water, etc. Go to their website and look at page 37 of their pdf catalogue. I have seen this same base sold also in the U.S. I do add some shea butter to the base or a bit of avocado oil, or whatever you would like (sweet almond oil). Forgot to mention that also add some aloe vera powder some times as well. It's a great base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
