Blue Sugar type before

Coconut after(use to be solid white with glitter)

So not all soaps that start pretty stay pretty. Blue Sugar type is a tough scent to soap color wise. It is a darker oil and has vanilla in it so it will shift. I used vanilla stabilizer to try and keep the shift from being too bad. But over time this bar got a mind of it's own and has totally changed.

Same goes for the coconut bar which I have discontinued. Started out a pretty white but is now an odd combo of white and strange brownish see picture.

I figure even with the Blue Sugar shift it is ok cause it is a guys soap and it still looks male friendly. Yes I would have liked it to stay the nice pretty blue/white/black but I can live with it.

Can't win them all I guess?!??!

soap makover

So my new goal is to work on switching a number of glycerin soaps over to cold process. Doing all these shows I see the cp soaps sell a ton better then the glycerin so I have decided to try some out in cp soap and see if they sell better. Some scents just don't work in cp soap so those will stay glycerin.

Well first up in the makeover was Blue Sugar type figured that was a good place to start since the male friendly soaps move really good. I had this one in glycerin but it would hardly get picked up, so will be interesting to see how it does at the show I have this coming weekend.
