I tried the rose petal and it went brown, but I found using silk rose petals worked and looked really pretty in the soap.

You can add them on top of the soap as a decoration! See these ones: https://gardentherapy.ca/wildflower-soap/

Hi Stephanie,
love your recipes! So how do we make soap with rose petals without them turning brown or green? I had the same problem :(

Hi Stephanie,

I have to say it, your soap recipes are the very best!! I’ve bought books about sopa making and the recipes didn’t work, and most of the recipes were a complete disaster.

YOUR RECIPES are PERFECT, super well explained, easy and beautiful . Congratulations!

If you made a book with all your recipes I would certainly buy it! Something to think about, maybe…. ;)

All that you do is amazing, I just wanted to tell you!

Love

In reply to Beth.

Hi Beth, I’m not sure how heating it too quickly or hot can affect the base, but if you suspect it, I would certainly slow it down a bit and gently melt the soap until it just liquid. Stir gently to avoid introducing a lot of air. But it could be the soap base. Some of them are quite clear, but those also tend to be the ones with additives like SLS or SLES, I go for the more natural option. The one I use for the soaps in the photos on this project is Stephenson Melt And Pour Soap Base Clear SLS FREE -> https://amzn.to/36av5s4. You can see all of the options from the manufacturer of the base here: https://www.stephensonpersonalcare.com/products/melt-pour/transparent. I hope this helps!

Hi Stephanie I am loving your recipes, newsletters etc. Thank you. This soap is probably my favourite although it sometimes comes out a little cloudy when dry. Is it because I heated it too hot too quickly ?
