Hi Dean. Checking in from the US again. Hope all is well with you and your family. Two things: 1. You're 100% right. It IS your soap. So I say put as much glitter as you want. You could always write in the label it has a hazard of turning people into disco balls. 😄😄 2. A few months ago, I was watching another of my favorite soap designers on KZfaq and she was using Brambleberry FO named island escapes and her description of it made me order some for my melt and pour soaps and wax tarts. If you haven't tried it yet, (and it won't blow your budget sky high with shipping costs), I think you'd LOVE it. Lastly, I have a question about using coffee grinds in soaps. Have you gotten any complaints from people about coffee grinds or anything like that kind of exfoliating item from the soap clogging their pores and/or their plumbing drains? I have been meaning to ask for a long time. May you have a blessed weekend ahead of you. ~Theresa
@DeanWilson 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Theresa, I label the soap with biodegradable glitter. I normally just buy FO from Australian supplies, but I will check out my local and see if they have it. If you add coffee grounds to melt and pour it will turn brown but if you label it as an exfoliant then it should be fine. Off all the sales where I have sold soap with coffee grind, I have not heard any complaints.

Love it! Great video showing all the pouring and remelting, it takes time and timing to do these swirls :) I’m guessing the fragrance had a bit of vanillin but with dark colours it takes the worry of discolouration away. And honestly, all soap could be purple in my world. Silver is just a bonus.

Amazing drop swirl technique for a M&P base. I've just got 2 assessments in melt & pour, I might get the chemist to add on suspending base aswell as yours has turned out really good. Sometimes I like to do M&P aswell as CP soap. Have you tried popping your jugs into a bowl of hot water to keep them fluid, save keep microwaving them? You can get little heated bain Marie's...that might be helpful? Sharon 🐑 Xxx

That turned out totally awesome 👏🏻 & it’s a definite yes to the glitter from me! Quick question: how do you get the soap liquid enough to pour but still cool enough for the colours to stay separated? I find if mines cool enough it’s all blobby.
@DeanWilson 3 жыл бұрын
That is the trick i think, finding that perfect temp where the colors will not merge but stick together. Normally under 130F will be perfect for this in most bases, but check with your supplier first.

Hi Dean These look amazing. I am about to embark on my soap making journey and wondered: do you need mica or can you use just the dye? What is the difference? Thankyou
@DeanWilson 2 жыл бұрын
Your need to use skin safe dye. Found only at soap suppliers or places like Amazon. But if it does not say skin safe, dont use it. Mica is fine for a solid color but if you want to use with clear liquid dye is also fine.
