Zebra stripes facial soap

Made a single batch of zebra stripes soap

Used 1810g oils and it fills the mould but isn’t enough for a high top.

The batch behaved well, though got a bit gloppy towards the end, could have mixed it less at the beginning to account for extra mixing after additives.

At trace I added the eo as follows:

4 g peppermint- 14 orange- 16 grapefruit. (10-40-50%)

Then split the batch roughly in 2.

To one I added 2 heaped tsp of titanium dioxide (didn’t disperse it into anything so not sure if it’ll cause issues.) and a big glup (maybe 3/4 cup?) of pre- pulverised oatmeal I think this got totally disintegrated while bar mixing the soap.

To the other half I added 3 heaped tsp of activated charcoal

Then poured in lines up and down the mould, doing 2-3 lines then switching colour and so on.

This is the recipe. Soaped nearly cold

Then did a bit of swirling on the top.
