Beginner recipes were created in Soapcalc using full water. Soaping with full water is ideal for those just learning to make soap. It will make your soap fluid longer and give plenty of time for the delicate swirls we all love!

Advanced Soap Recipes

These recipes have a 33% water discount. This will make it easier to unmold your soap more quickly but will speed up the trace of the soap.

Turned gray in CP soap

I am disappointed because this mica turned gray in my CP batter and soap.

We do put a warning about this on the product page so that people are aware of this prior to purchase! You'll see under soap use notes it says: 'As with most dark purples, this color can be a bit tricky in cold process soaps. At times you may get a rich amethyst color, and other times it may turn smoky gray. We suggest testing this in your recipe in making CP soap to see how it works for you'.

Dark and beautiful

I pair this with the Blackberry Bliss for my husband's favorite soap. Says it reminds him of a sweet wine.

Dark purple—very dark plum
