Soap shouldn’t look that tasty

We wanted to call our brand "don't eat it" But started making cakes and jams, so the name wouldn't make much sense And it's really funny when customers come and think those are all cakes

Edit: ah, and tbh, I usually try soap on my tongue, but not as a zap test, no, no, no, I do it to try how it tastes And this batch tastes really delicious and edible

You're not selling me on not eating this soap

what did you use for colors?

In short and being honest, micas colorants which are advertised by local soapmaking suppliers as "natural"

I didn't dig dipper because i'm living kinda on the edge of the world and I don't have much choice 😄

edit: ah, and i'm not very good with color mixing, so I always just batch a lot of colors and at the end call it "a feature"
