I used titanium oxide for the firat time and, clearly, I should have asked questions so I didn't ruin an entire batch.

I mixed the TO in the already too traced soap so I was kind of in panic mode. I was supposed to have been swirled it in a pumpkin soap with copper sparkle in it. Another problem was too much copper sparkle. Too dark.

It went through gel phase. When I sliced it you could see specks of the titanium oxide that I obviously didn't mix enough. I would never give this soap to anyone. How are you supposed to handle titanium oxide?

Now I have this THING that I have to figure out what to do with. My first thought was to chop it up in small cubes and imbed it in white soap. Maybe this way the specks wouldn't be noticed. Plan B was to rebatch it and try to lighten it up with more titanium oxide. I have only rebatched once and was less than pleased. How would I add the TO to a rebatch?

I just had a class and we talked about colorants such as Titanium Dioxide. The instructor recommended to reserve part of your oil or water (depending on whether your TD mixes with oil or water) and mix the colorant into a small amount of the liquid THEN pour it into the soap, it will help break up the lumps etc. but since your soap is finished it might be nice to cut it up and embed it into another soap, it would probably be very pretty. I don't do any rebatching so i can't really say too much about that idea.

good luck!

If I'm using TD for the whole batch, I add the water soluble TD to my lye water AFTER it has cooled off. If the TD is oil soluble, I add it to cooled off oils, stick blend well, then add the lye water.

How do you know if the TO is water or oil soluble? I have the TO from Brambleberry.

Thanks! Also, how much TO is suggested per pound of soap?
