My family like the Calendula Soap I made in my first post a lot. The only thing is that the color was not as fresh as it first came out of the mold two months later. I want to give another try. Since the Annatto infusion oil has very nice yellow in my previous color testing, and the color didn’t seem change so far, I decided to use it instead. It turns out I have to make two batches because the first one I forgot the orange essential oil will make soap turn yellow, and I was going to make the top part white so that the Calendula petals will stand out more. In the second batch, I reduced the Annatto infusion oil about 1% of total weight. So instead of 9%, I used 8% to light the yellow a little.
Here is the comparison. The front one is with less Annatto infusion oil and without orange essential oil. The back one is the first batch with orange essential oil.
