These are gorgeous. It was fun to watch the process and see how lovely soap like this comes together.

Thanks for posting. I want to check out the blog post for info on your choices. Hemp oil certainly changes tge base color doesn't it

Very pretty! When you are mixing the micas, what oil are you using and does it play into your soap oil calculations?

[@findlaycreeksoapcompany]

Thanks! To mix my colours, I will either use some of the melted oils/butters from my batch or extra olive oil. I don’t make any adjustments to the calculations - it’s not much extra so it is just added to the super fat of the batch
