Hint: keep a spray bottle of hot distilled water and after each stir, spray the sides of the pot. It will keep those dried bits from getting into the batter.They came out lovely! HP is such a surprise!

I've made a lot of hp soap and I always blend it to a very thick, pudding like trace because it does try to separate when it starts to cook. I also agree that hp is more gentle on delicate fragrances because it doesn't have the heat and lye attacking the fragrance molecules. However, none of my hp soaps has been as fluid or beautiful as yours. You really pulled it off well!!!!

Also , I recommend Ellie's Everyday Doap Making. I can't remember where I heard it, but for soap, I only watch these 2 channels. EOs with citrus tend to lose their staying power after the 6 week cure. It might just be with CP. How was this after 6 weeks?

I use a thick plastic bowl but you will want your oils at least 200f when you start. Put a towel under the bowl and around the base to keep it insulated. continue to stick blend until you hear the stick blender start to sound different. Its hard to explain. Be ready to take the stick blender out and start whisking down. continue this until you get to the Vaseline stage. Hope this makes sense.@@LolitaAkl

I think they turned out great. When I saw the thumbnail and the awesome swirls I clicked on the video immediately. It doesn't matter if you're making CP or HP, your soaps are always gorgeous! I always love the look of Hot Process. I haven't mastered a pretty top yet either but after I cut them into bars they still always look good and I like the rustic look. I think a lot of the herbal and flower powders morph because of the high pH and not just due to high temps. I've done HTFHP quite a few times and I love it. Depending on the recipe you can get it to a thick trace and it's just a matter of minutes, maybe not even that before it volcanos the first time. You just have to watch and be ready to stir, stir, stir. It does cook a lot faster but then you have to remember to keep the lids on the crock pots because when it cooks that fast you are losing a lot of moisture quickly and it won't stay fluid for very long. I like to save my essential oils for HP too, and also fragrance oils that misbehave too much in CP. It's nice that there is the option so we don't have to miss out on using some fragrance oils that rice horrifically or totally seize the instant you add them.

The anthocyanin pigments responsible for the red/purple hues in hibiscus flowers are notoriously unstable in high temperatures and changes of pH. They can often behave like litmus, leaning red in acidic environments and blue in alkaline ones, or just decompose on heating. (This is why so few natural dyes are made from flowers or berries, and those that are tend to produce yellows from carotenoid pigments.) It's always worth testing out plant-based colorants by heating in an alkaline solution first to see how they behave. That said, I really like the granite-like effect in the soap and would definitely consider adding hibiscus for a 'stone' soap.
