I made some soap last night and while i was unmoulding it today it actually made my hands a bit itchy!!!

Could this be from maybe adding too much fragrance? (which i admit i think i did - wasn't thinking when i added it!)

Also, this is the first time i have added titanium dioxide (think thats what its called - the white stuff :lol:

) so i thought i might have added too much of that too...

Other than that the base is the same great m&p base i always use so im a bit clueless and any ideas would be great

Sounds like it could be the fragrance. Do you use a scale?

You might be allergic to the Titanium if you haven't used it before.

Since it's MP, yes you can remelt. Try adding to that half as much more MP, then melt it all together.
