Everyone! Thank you so much for your guesses and comments!!!! Interesting... Lisa and Tracey were right on one aspect - acceleration. This soap suddenly accelerated or seized on me and I got major clumps. No one has guessed the ingredient/s I was playing with yet... xoxo Jen
Mika - you are RIGHT!!!! Wine soap is correct. So Amy 10th Ave. is right also, but Mika - EXACTLY! yes, and I felt pretty upset about losing all that soap. I am not really into rebatching, so i am thinking of other things to do with it.... will post my next attempt soon. xoxox Jen
Living next to a winery and vineyard, I've made wine soaps many times. Did you reduce the wine by 2/3's by simmering it for an hour or so before putting it into your batch liquids?
It does look interesting and I can't wait to see what you've worked out!
Fudge with hazelnuts? :-) I don't have the slightest idea what you were experimenting on!
ReplyDeletecocoa powder? I have no idea, maybe something subsituted for the lye water?????
ReplyDeletepine tar, accelerated too fast
ReplyDeleteHahaha, it looks like chocolate
ReplyDeleteI vote for Lisa's answer. The other thing I thought of is I hope that it isn't ruined cause that's a lot of soap!

ReplyDeletewine soap isn't it??
ReplyDeletebis
Essential oils blend or some organic ingredient?
ReplyDeleteUsually these accelerated the trace.
Anyway it looks like spanish Turon...for the winter holidays.
I was hoping that you were going for that look and it wasn't acceleration--that's a lot of soap! :(
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it's an alcohol, too. Those kinds of soaps move incredibly fast.
