Made with the base oils of Coconut, Avocado, Castor, Olive and Shea butter with Tussah Silk to increase the bubble "slide", I have colored it with Spirulina, Charcoal and Titanium Dioxide Powders.
And as with Spirulina it starts out a nice bright green but quickly fades. Still I like the muted greys, mixed with the white and charcoal and I really like the way my swirls came through. Made with a chopstick and allowed to "ash" it looks almost pretty.
But then again, I am simple in my soaping ways.
The scent however...a bit too strong. At least for me it is.
Fir needle, Patchouli, Amyris, Grapefruit, and Cedarwood EO's
it has a deep woods, almost dare I say it? Uni-bomber smell. Well it would if the Uni-bomber ever delved into personal hygiene.
I was planning to try spirulina for its green color, but it looks like it does not stay green (not even a little bit?) how's the smell of the spirulina in the finished soap? Do you now feel that silk makes a difference? :-)
ReplyDeleteIt does stay, I have noticed, when mixed with wheat grass powder which I forgot to do. I do not ever notice any fishy smell and yes I think the silk makes the "slip" of the soap and the lather...better. Just my never have been humble opinions
DeleteIt looks nice at least!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! And even though the smell was too strong for me the bars sold very fast out of my farm store. Go figure.
DeleteUnibomber soap. Has a nice ring to it.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's me. The politically incorrect soap maker. You should hear the names that DON"T make it on my soap labels. Like the soap made with Rosemary Essential oil that I named....wait for it...Rosemary's Maybe
