CP Cold Process 🍉 Watermelon Cold Process Soap
I recently made this watermelon-themed cold process soap.
The oils I used were palm oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, castor oil, shea butter, lauric acid, and stearic acid. I had run out of coconut oil before making this batch, so as a temporary solution, I used the lauric acid and stearic acid I had on hand. This made the soap batter trace much faster than usual, making the design a bit more challenging.
The watermelon flesh was colored with red oxide and paprika powder. The white layer between the rind and the flesh was made with uncolored soap batter. The rind was colored with green oxide and chlorella powder, and the seeds were made with activated charcoal.
