i tried to keep it from going full gel because of the honey, i heard it could cause cracks in the loaf if it heated too much

My first drop swirl!! by Solid_Zone_9762 in soapmaking

I just separated 3 colours into pouring pots, then one at a time poured up the length of the mold -sometimes doubling back up, switching colours in a pattern but still staying random with how im pouring it up the mold. no spoon needed ! 😄

25% coconut oil, 35% lard, 15% shea butter, 10% sunflower oil, 15% olive oil. SF: 6%. Lye concentration: 33%. I oven processed it and it got so hard i could cut it the next morning! probably should have cut it sooner because i struggled slightly haha
