Warmed Oils

Playing around with another cold process soap. I've been wanting to try adding pumpkin to the soap and I've been wanting to attempt a swirl....We shall see how both of these turn out tomorrow. This soap came to gel stage very quickly, I'm guessing this particular fragrance oil helped to speed up the whole process.

 

My recipe was for four pounds of oils, so I figured a four pound loaf mold would work fine..so that's all I had lined. After pouring and swirling that one, I had to do a very quick emergency lining on my one pound mold and get the last bits of soap poured into that before it started to set up. Lesson learned, I know better than to use a new untested recipe without having some form of back-up mold on stand-by.
