| I always think that black soaps are stunning. They are bold and demand to be noticed. My biggest challenge was deciding on a fragrance that I wanted in a black soap. I finally decided on Eastern Amber. This fabulous scent seems even more musky and sensual in a black soap. Come with me to the kitchen to make this enticing soap!
Note: This soap will color a wash cloth. I was able to rinse the color out at the sink but don’t use your favorite wash cloth with this soap. Collect Needed Items
Recipe:
Melt oils gently until liquid. Slowly stir the lye into the water. Pour the lye solution into to the oils. Mix to light trace. Add the oil soluble color and fragrance to the soap. Mix well, and pour into a mold. Enjoy! |

Oh Taylor! This would be a perfect hand soap for a Blacksmith!! Just add some poppy seeds or cornmeal and you’re good to go!!
Does the soap color show up on your hands like it does on a washcloth?
Only problem is – how would a blacksmith know if his/her hands were clean??!! LOL!
Nice soap Taylor ;o)

Isn’t there a black mica that works nicely in cp soap? Maybe it doesn’t stain as much…
I want to know what a washcloth looks like too!
I received a sample of this soap and I LOVE it! My favorite washcloths happen to be a very dark blue, so luckily, no staining problems here! 😉 I agree that the Eastern Amber fragrance is musky and sensual; wonderful in this mysterious and exotic soap. Thanks for all your experimenting, Taylor!
For quantity, you list “Q.S. Black Oil Soluble Color”. What does that mean?
