Teach Soap

First cut

Five days after cut.

This was a non gel batch so the cure will take a bit longerthan 4 weeks. You see the color change already and by the end of 6 weeks cure it will be really dark with aqua spots!

I'll try to remember to post the final cure photo jff.

Mella, like your soap colors. Yes dragons blood turns quite dark on me. I did not like it the first time I made it but this time I do... I lightened up on how much I used.

Thank you Debbie! Heather you be sure to remind me, I'm known for forgetting dates!

Susie, yes it is a powerful fragrance so a light hand is needed. I use .7 oz ppo and it is strong, but some people men and women both like it that way. I have calmer fragrances for the light hearted who don't like it to stand out, like I do! LOL

Mella, how did you do the swirl in the dragon's blood batch? I REALLY love how it looks!

Heather I pulled out 5 oz of batter before the fragrance went in the main batch and I colored it. Poured into mold after the fragranced part went into the mold. Poured high and low and no real pattern. So it isn't uniform kind of looks like spots!
