Creamy Carrot Soap

I have been wanting to make a carrot soap for sometime now.
I was wanting to use organically grown carrots. Knowing
an acquaintance of mine was growing her own carrots, I asked

  if she wouldn't mind sparing a few. 
Many thanks to her generosity!

I was so excited to get these babies in a puree!

I peeled them, 

(each carrot was as long as one of my fingers)

cut them into small slices, and added them to a small pot with some water, and let them cook away.

I ran them through our Ninja and pressed then through a fine mesh strainer.

And here is the puree!

You may be saying: wow....that is not much for all that work!

well, you are right! 

But....all I wanted to put in my soap

recipe was about 2-3 oz. This is 3.1 ounces of fresh

organic carrots!

I also put in some Greek Yogurt.

It made my soap a perfect color.

I took out about 12 oz of the soap batter and

added some Titanium Dioxide to it to lighten

it up a bit. 

I was going for a two toned creamed orange look.

All was going well.

I poured the bulk of the soap batter in the bottom half of my soap mold.

I then placed in melt & pour curls.

(I made the melt & pour from scratch)

I was pouring in the 12 ounces of the lighter batter

on top 

when I remember I forgot one important thing:

THE FRAGRANCE OIL! Yikes!

Honestly.....how many of you have done that? sheesh-louise!

Where was my head?! LoL

I didn't think I had much choice here, so I slowly poured in

the fragrance oil (with the soap IN the mold) and gently stirred it all in.

Sigh.....so much for it turning out the way you wanted

it to!

The curls were now moved, and I was not sure how that was going to look.

The two color was now just about....one color.

I have to admit, I was not totally unhappy with this soap!

You never know what might or might not happen, and

You never know what you will or will not get when you are soaping.

But.....it is all good!
