Hi Holly ~ Thank you for watching my video and your sweet comment! This fragrance is wonderful smelling and usually behaves okay. Maybe it was having a bad day, lol. :) ione

Glad to see you back Ione, such beautiful colours and well done for taming that naughty fragrance 👏😍

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

:) Thank you very much, Hilary! I appreciate you watching my video and the kind words. It's the first time this fragrance has riced, so totally unexpected that and will be noting it for the future!

Hi Jill ~ Thanks for watching my video and your lovely compliments! I poured the soap a little differently this time, not sure it's better. I'll probably go back to more "tried and true" ones next. :) ione

Hi Renu ~ Thanks for watching my video and your kind words. I tried a little different pour technique this time, but think other versions I've done get better results. I love experimenting though! lol :) ione

[@SarahAnneStuff]

So good to see you again ^_^ Beautiful soap as always, and well done with the ricing. Maybe it's my soap formula, but when I get a fragrance that rices, I have to very quickly blend it out then immediately pour. With some fragrances, I might get a little time to add one color, but that's usually about it. You did it so well 💐🌼🌺🏵

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Thank you so much, Sarah! I appreciate you watching my video and your thoughtful comment. I did use this fragrance once before, but didn't note that it riced. I'm glad I added it last after all the other colors were ready, none of them riced. I just got lucky! :) ione

[@elizabethwelcher3952]

Can you explain adding the milk to the oil after the lye solution please. Do you include that in the water amount? Is it regular cows milk? I have noticed you also have added cream. I am in utter AWE of your talent and gorgeous soap!

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hi Lorri ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful words. I appreciate it very much. To answer your question, I used whole cow's milk in this soap, but I also use goat milk, coconut milk, buttermilk, cream, yogurt and aloe juice as liquid additives. I deduct the amount of additive from the distilled water amount for the lye solution. The additives are usually around 30% of the liquid amount for the recipe. I add the milks, etc after emulsifying the oils and lye solution, but before trace. I love doing it this way since adding it in with the oils before the lye solution always scorches the milk (turns it yellow and sometimes even smells bad). I hope this helps and happy soaping! :) ione
