Original recipe 9.1% Meadowfoam oil. But this website doesn't have fatty acid profile for the oil and BB doesn't sell it anymore anyway. Substituting Wheat Germ and added castor

1-12-21 2x water. used shea as original recipe suggested. using evoo for fluidity

I swapped out Sunflower oil with Rice bran.

Need loads of fluidity for this design so water must be 2.5x lye. EVOO also helps with fluidity. After trying a sample batch I'd consider reducing Olive and including Wheat Germ. I'm curious how 20% Almond Oil feels. I swapped out Shea for Cocoa Butter because I wanted unscented soap

Original Recipe from: https://www.savvyhomemade.com/how-to-make-pink-clay-cp-soap/. I ADDED PALM OIL. Author adds her clay to the lye solution. For less vibrant pink add it with EOs at thin trace. Recipe normally 10% Mango and no Cocoa Butter She uses 1oz EO total for 30oz soap, which seems...

10-31-20 I saw this was similar to Dhai's Slow Swirl (200616), where I replaced Avocado Oil with Almond and D. Fish said the soap felt almost moisturizing. It's also similar to BB Mantra Swirl (200617). So there's some "play" in which oils to use/swap out.

This is 200901 -- my first Zeolite Middle design. I love the softness/gentleness of this bar as a hand soap. The Wheat Germ Oil makes all the difference. 200901 EO profile: 48% Orange, 30

You can also consider Red Sandalwood powder. It turns purple and has a slight "grainy" look, but the purple color is quite nice. I found it at Brambleberry.com

I'm trying a tiny bit of castor for bubbles & Kokum for fun. 10-4-20 Trying Lemon-Eucalyptus with Orange 10x and/or Bergamot to try and balance the L-E.

Want high coconut for bubbles but also soothing properties of mango & wheat germ

Note: NO CASTOR. I like the original recipe in the shower, which uses 10% Rice Bran. I ran several different oil combinations through the calculator for the 10% to see the O/L/L numbers. They all range around a total of 50. I decided to put in 5% Shea because I have so much and I already...

For 32oz Oil weight: Ginger E/O - 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml), Cinnamon E/O - 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml), Clove E/O - 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml), Patchouli E/O - 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml), Sweet Orange E/O - 6 tsp. (30 ml) Finely Ground Oatmeal - 2 Tbsp (30 ml), Cocoa Powder - 1 tsp. (5 ml), Finely ground coffee -...

6-25-20 Updated recipe to be even %s. This does not reflect the original recipe. I've lowered castor and increased palm and coconut -- not sure what else I adjusted. 6-13-20I used this successfully to make Cosmic Wave designs in my bee mold. For cosmic wave you make all your colors and then...

For Taiwan Swirl variant: Once lye water is added, divide batter into three equal parts (~16.5oz/each). If using a Mica colorant start with 1 tsp dispersed colorant and add up to additional 1/2 tsp to each container. If using an oxide start with 1/2 tsp of colorant. Only go to a light trace...

She brews 14.5oz Green Tea (any variety) to 6.1oz lye (so 30% Lye concentration - take note and ignore using lye calculator!). The tea is the lye water (needs to be cooled). Do NOT insulate (no gel phase) if you want to keep the soap batter more cream, as Green Tea turns brown in lye water and...

3-2-22 This traced almost immediately after blending while making an 8oz batch. Lye 110F. Oils 117F. I hadn't reached a thin trace, walked away and batter was at thick trace. For 31.75oz soap she used the following essential oils: Rosemary1.5 tsp, Lemon-Euc3/4 tsp, Eucalyptus 2 tsp. Litsea...
