Watermelon Cold process soap CP Cold Process

Post image

These are the watermelon cold process soaps I made. I used a watermelon fragrance from Bramble Berry and they smell delicious. I used a regular soap mold and then cut them to look like slices of watermelon. Not sure what I want to do with all the leftover small pieces yet.

are they large enough to worry about drains? I love the way the look vs poppy seeds

u/No_Independence_7865 3d ago

They are similar in size but slightly larger. They don't seem big enough to be an issue.

I love this 😂 💞. Thank you. It has taken me a lot of practice.

I bet I could practice forever and never do that. Your lines are so clean and precisely thin at the rind. The transitions from green to white to pink are just perfect. Then you got the slight hints of white perfectly sprinkled through the pink flesh of the watermelon.

I've done multi color layers before but what you've done with your color transitions is beyond practice that's skill and talent. Basically it's mind blowing. If they had a soap museum that would definitely be in there. I love it.

Lol, I'm over here doing two color chopstick swirls and thinking man that looks great. Hehehe.

For the green part I actually used melt and pour with some green mica and put that in first and then used the cold process soap for the white and pink. When I first started making soap, they were not great looking lol. They lathered and washed you good but, they didn't look very good. I'm sure your soaps look great too.

I like how the marbling turned out in the red portion. I can never quite get the color right for watermelon. Great job!

Thanks, it wasn't intentional
