Watermelon Soap FAIL: What Went Wrong?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

MESS.

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

the fact that you said "that you dont eat" makes me wonder if someone should try it 🤣🤣🤣

The bottom layer is super cool! 🍉 😎 It is a gorgeous design. I'm sorry that goo happened, but thank you for sharing it with us.

The rind was gorgeous! 💚🍉

That green drop swirl is beautiful! Love that for sure. I’m so glad you specified “watermelon candy “ for the scent because I did try Cierra candle’s “garden watermelon “ FO and not a fan. Smells like fish even after cure time. I love every other sent I’ve tried from them though so all the love to Cierra candles absolutely! So yes I’ll be trying the Wayermelon candy FO for sure with watermelon purée, just not too much of it 😂. I love that you show the fails as well as the slam dunks on your channel, seeing what goes wrong is almost more helpful sometimes as seeing what goes right. Thank you ☺️

Actually that’s not fair to Cierra candles what I said about the garden watermelon. I have a very accurate sense of smell to the point that it’s a curse and not so much a good thing sometimes. I’m probably smelling all the components in the scent that creates the watermelon scent to others. But for me it still smells like fish, but it might smell like wonderful watermelon to someone else. I just love Cierra candles scents so much, I felt bad for that last comment.

Oh no! It was such a pretty design!

The rind was beautiful! Sorry about the red part. Bit we learned something!

[@debran.3100]

Love the swirl in the rind. The bubble was definitely a great time! I mean straight away. I was so nervous about the copious amount of watermelon.😂 that’s why I just add milks, or purées as half of my water and blend into oils before adding lye mixture. I’m a gutless wench.😂

[@OfficialLadyDarkSky]

couldnt you make it into a dual lye since its still waterish hot process it?

[@CandaceJensen-iq7vx]

Ok it’s been like over the 8 week mark for curing for my watermelon soaps I used Cierra Candles “garden watermelon “ and it smells lovely now! Wow it just took a while but the fishy smell I couldn’t get past is totally gone now and it smells like a lovely garden watermelon! Especially because it soaped so very nicely for me! I’m so very pleased! Yay for Cierra Candles! Sometimes we just have to have some patience ❤️

[@MsAubrey]

Honestly… my medium wasn’t bad smelling to make soap with. It was strangely earthy.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

That’s interesting, because all I smelled was blood while I was watching your footage. 😂

[@Vivayne]

So what do you do with all these crazy soaps? Do you use them in your own home?

[@angelawinter3475]

Love the new intro

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Thanks!

[@ianbritz16]

Did you use enough lye

[@jamiegardella1251]

Wait.....hello beautiful loaf cutter!!!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

With a broken string, immediately. Because I am a disaster.

[@jamiegardella1251]

@@MrsSoapAndClay oh noooo

[@danielt4449]

would you rebatch it into a glycerin face bar like you have done before? or something else since it still suds up great just not so nice looking on red but over all still think its a cool soap

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hey! Yup, I’ll definitely rebatch this, probably add some activated charcoal because everything gets better when you do that. 😂

[@AmberBathCo]

Will you be trying it again? I know you would perfect this if you tried again with the juice.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Oh, for sure. Just got back from the market with new watermelons, and at least some of that should end up in soap!

[@kellsgreenidge8885]

I got some Watermelon in my deep freeze best I put it in a soap yes lol

[@MsAubrey]

Hi!😊
