If you pour the colors from too high, they will sink (which is also a cool effect, and how I did the colors in my blackberries & cream soap). Hope that helps!Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894195914088348516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584254155023774978.post-76662618660907344092012-10-24T17:00:02.590-07:002012-10-24T17:00:02.590-07:00Hey Cee,if it was super thin,how did you manage to...Hey Cee,if it was super thin,how did you manage to pour the colours without having them sunk thru the white part?

I also added 70% salt to it too...the soap feels really nice and it's rock hard. Next on my to-do list is a 100% CO soap with 20% SF so I can compare the two recipes. :)SoDakSoaper {Kalla}https://www.blogger.com/profile/11019369315209686257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584254155023774978.post-73811820857483187372012-10-14T08:44:46.338-07:002012-10-14T08:44:46.338-07:00I'm so glad you shared that Kalla, thanks! I d...I'm so glad you shared that Kalla, thanks! I didn't notice the CO amount when I was making it, so I only used a 6% SF for this, which is probably okay because of the yogurt. However if I still find this drying, I will definitely take your advice and up the SF. I'd love to try making an 80% CO soap, what SF would you recommend for that?

I think as long as you increase your superfat then it isn't drying. I used to be one of those who said "I don't use co over 20% because it's drying"...well, not anymore. I've used it at 25%, 30%, 50%, 80% and adjusted the superfat...not drying at all. However, since you used sunflower oil you probably wouldn't want to go too high with the sf.

I have heard the same about sunflower oil going rancid, so I used freshly opened sunflower oil and I'm hoping that will help. Some people add rosemary oil extract to their rancid-prone oils to extend the shelf life, but I have never done that. I just usually try to use those oils up quickly and keep them in the fridge between uses. This soap is actually about 41% sunflower, 28% palm and 31% coconut. I've never used that high an amount of coconut either (which I've heard can be drying in high amounts), so it will be interesting to see how this soap feels.

But,I've never substituted the whole amount of o.o., I've gone with 50% max. That makes your soap more interesting, I wonder if it will make any difference. <br />What do you think about sunflower oil going rancid? Some sources say it doesn't go,due to high vit.E percentage,others claims it goes rancid faster than other oils.
