Wow, that's incredible looking. Is there a techniques I can to research or watch videos on for your color stirring and mixing technique? I've never had so fine swirls in my soaps.

    Thank you, that’s so kind of you to say! Basically all I do for my colorants is disperse them in oil (I use sunflower) and I pour them in the soap batter. I know some people use their stick blender to do that but I worry it’ll thicken it too much so I do the oil method (1 tsp color to 1 tbsp oil per pound of soap, then I mix together with a milk frother). Then to get the swirls on top, I drizzle any remnants of that colored oil leftover onto the top and just swirl around with a skewer. No set pattern or technique, I just swirl around until I like what I see! Hope that helps (and makes sense lol)!
