Black Cherry Merlot with Aloe Soap
Recipe Instructions
Used aloe pulp as water discount. Mix 1/2 water with aloe and other 1/2 water with lye. Add at trace. Halve, 1/2 mixture purple mica other halve pink. This recipe seized like crazy due to aloe... Need to decrease aloe pulp usage to 1-2 tsp. and not do water discount... Oils separated following day so I had to hot process. However, the HP soap is great and I'm using now.
