White Soap... Gel Experiment 8/27/25
Recipe Instructions
Interesting Experiment:
I added about 1/4 C pumice powder.
.7 oz Eucalyptus + .7 oz of Orange + .7 ounce of Sage EO... just a dash of Patchouli & Smoked Cedar to soften it a bit.
I added some green mica to swirl it... but the soap certainly didn't stay white, and the beige color darkened the green. Gelling it in the oven will probably ruin any color contrast that might have been had.
