Hello, this weekend was at a workshop jabon cold (now I'm in melt and pour), and I liked a lot. I did my first soap with olive oil recycling. So I will continue with more soap. I have two questions:
1. What kind of color is used for this process: micas, pigments? What is the best?

2. What % of essential oils used? In the workshop we were told about 4% of the fat. How do you see?

Thanks for your answers. :?

Hi, Ana Maria!

Sounds like you had fun in your workshop! As for your questions -

1. Different soapers use different colorants. It depends on the effects you want to acheive. Both micas and pigments are good and are used by many people. Try them and see which one you prefer!

2. It depends on the essential oil. I use between 6% and 4% - less for strong oils like peppermint, more for citrus, since it tends to fade.

Call me confused but what is " olive oil recycling" ? Recycled olive oil?

As far as the fragrance, it depends on the strength. I use anywhere from 0.5 oz. per lb., to 1 oz per lb. of soap. 4% would be way too much. At that rate it could also be irritating.

Magic_hands, thanks for your answer, ire by trying to see what happens. What strikes me about this process is that the color changes is not com melt and pour that generally keeps the same color, I miss my green soap in two hours and change to another pitch and then another. I do not know if this is normal.
Soapbuddy, I'm from Spain and this is very normal to use olive oil for cooking, so when we can not recycle and use what I did: I made this soap for home but not for the body, I use to remove the small grease stains on clothes, especially my children, even in the kitchen washing a dish or glass that you forget to put in the dishwasher.
However this leads jabon smell apple and lemon and just note, I think that says Magic_hands citrus smells tend to evaporate.

Thanks to both and will continue to investigate. :wink:

Some colorants do change color in cold process soap. I don't know what supplies are available to you there, so you might have to experiment and keep notes to find out how each ingredient behaves.
