This is tea tree oil soap for Gina and Catlin. I finally got the right amount of oil in the soap thanks to "The Soap Magician." I made two other recipes but I was only guessing about how much to add and didn't get it right either time. Third time was a charm and I really liked the swirls I got (I did an IPS )and the way the top turned out. I think I will call this Yellow Lilies because of the top.
This will be a great soap for young skin. I added beeswax, oatmeal, goat milk powder and clay. I'm going to include the recipe here because I think it is finally the way I want it. The basic recipe came from Soaping 101: 12.8 oz olive oil 9.6 oz coconut oil 8.0 oz. tallow 1.6 oz. castor 4.55 sodium hydroxide 8.75 liquid I added: 2 t. clay 1 T. collodial oatmeal 1 oz. cocoa butter for superfatting .35 oz beeswax 1 t. goat milk powder 1 oz. tea tree oil .20 Eucalyptus Lemon oil .20 Juniper berry oil .10 Lime oil For coloring I used medium blue ultramarine with flourescent red orange to get the purple and flourescent strong yellow. I got the ultramarine from Brambleberry and the red orange and yellow are flourescent micas from TKB Trading. The texture is wonderful and there are tons of bubbles.
