Strawberries N Cream soap is on the list for this weekends soaping adventure. This will be the second time I make this scent. The first time I made this it seized on me. I had never witnessed first hand a full on soap seizure but wow, it was more than surprising! I thought I was making soap cool, that usually helps with keeping the soap from tracing too fast but nope, that batch went so fast! It also SOLD fast!! I did a quick and simple re-batch of it since the seizure made it look pretty ugly. This time I’m more prepared for how incredibly fast this fragrance oil moves. I’m also planning on using my slab mold for this batch which should afford me a few extra seconds so I might be able to get a little swirl going on, if not Ill do a shimmery swirl with mica. If this fragrance oil wasn’t so awesome I would definitely move on to another brand or formula that behaved better. But this one is definitely worth the trouble! It is my soap of the month selection for July.
