Today I was doing a test batch on a new colour, so I could see how much I
needed to obtain a particular shade. I had purchased a few fragrant oils and
thought, yep I'll chuck a bit in here and see how it goes - after all they are
meant to be soap safe. Well, today I was reminded why I don't use fragrant
oils in cp soap!! Even though I kept the temps low the tiny batch went
immediately into ricing mode as soon as the fragrant oils hit the soap mix.
Anyway, I poured/glopped it into the mould and unmoulded late this afternoon.
Pretty colour, actually smells quite nice - oh but the look - YUK! Still I
achieved what I wanted with the colour.
Always learning - love soapmaking!
