Goatmilk & Chamomile soap

Oils: coconut, olive (chamomile infused), palm (found some in the cupboard, actually stopped using it), sunflower, castor, flax seed
Liquid: raw goat milk
Additives: titanium dioxide, white clay, Dead Dea mud
Scent: FO Chamomile
Method: cold process, put in the freezer for 3 hours

I got a partial gel and slight overheating in the middle. It's also a bit grainy because it traced almost as soon as I started mixing. Then adding the FO made it even worse. I don't really mind though, it makes the soap look robust and rustic.

Goat milk & honey soap

Oils: olive, coconut, palm, wheat germ, hemp, castor
Liquid: raw goat milk
Additives: white clay powder, yellow clay powder, honey, TD
Perfume oils: apple blossom and a touch of lemon

My first honey soap failed because I tried to speed up the curing by placing it in the oven. It overheated and got holes. The colors were really nice though and it's still good soap.

This time I put my honey soap in the freezer for 22 hours to prevent gelling. I was doubting wether to put it in the fridge afterwards to let it warm up slowly but decided to risk it and keep it at room temperature afterwards. The soap oozed some water which later was either evaporated and/or re-absorbed. The colors aren't as bright as the gelled honey soap.

It smells nice although I do prefer to use EO's myself for scenting my soap. You never know what they put in those PO's.
