Notes

I’m loving this finished product!!! We added a bit of dark green liquid soap color as well as some sparkly green mica meant for soap making.  Also I used the darker shade on the bottom which actually seemed to take on a blue hue. Odd.  The top color almost achieved what I was looking for.  Simply, a color of fresh guacamole.  Close.  Unfortunately I didn’t have enough color to really make it happen and adding cold leftover whey with the powdered lye made it a bit more difficult as the chemical reaction caused the liquid whey to go from white to bright orange.  That was a pretty fun scientific experiment to try out.  

I added frozen whey this time for two reasons.  

1. I had extra left over from mozzarella cheese making. 
2. I wanted to see what kind of soap bar it would make?  Would it be more nourishing to the skin? I haven’t found a whole lot of results talking about that so we’ll see in about 5 or 6 weeks when the soap has had time to cure.
