Emerald city soap

DESIGN:

Emerald embeds on one side, yellow brick middle, hearts or shoes on the opposite side.

Color some of it gray, the rest should blue, fragrance may discolor but it's ok since it is supposed to be a tornado effect.

FRAGRANCE:

Essential oils combination for fragrance: for 50 oz of soap, 0.5 oz litsea EO, 0.60 basil EO, 0. 8 cedarwood EO and 0.10 Cassia EO (total 2 oz)

where: litsea is top note (25%)

cassia - top note (5%)

basil middle note (30%)

cedarwood- base note (40%)

FEEDBACK:

This is the same recipe as unicorn soap. I reached emulsification and when I poured it, it was very fluid and liquid. I jhad stick blended the colors and the blue portion was a pretty blue.

After 36 hours I unmolded even though the sides were sticking to silicone mold because I was afraid it would be hard like the unicorn soap was and that if I waited longer it would crumble when cut. I did not use sodium lactate, I apparently have a knack for forgetting this important part.

There was no need to unmold yet though, it was soft, but at least I got to see the colors. The EO's must have made their part to discolor to yellow, I knew litsea would do it but did not research the other ones. What used to be blue now it's a minty green, not bad but not the look I was going for. I do like how it smells. If I had to describe this fragrance, I would say it smells like you are drinking hot lemon tea, with a stick of cinnamon, in the middle of the forest.

My take away is that if I pour when the soap batter is in medium trace, I will be able to unmold sooner than when I pour when the batter is very fluid.
