Marigold (Calendula) dried flower petals, that is the free sample I got from BB with the order that came today:) Now what do I with it? They are kinda orangeish in color so I thought I could use them with an Orange FO. How does this sound?

1 lb of GM base
13 grams Orange Sherbet FO
The sample pack of marigold (won't know the weight of it until I get back from the store with a scale)
4.74 grams of Castor Oil
1.5 grams of Glycerin

When I got the suggestion to use Castor Oil and Glycerin it was 1 tea. of Castor Oil and 1/4 tea. of Glycerin, did I do the conversion to grams right?

I'm also open to other suggestion on how to use them, or if you don't recommend using them in M&P.

Last question for now:) I also got 1 lb of Shaving melt and pour today for the other half to try, I hate the smell of his shaving cream. Do I just cut off a chunk and he uses it just like soap to lather up his face before he shaves?

You can use up to 1 tablespoon total of added oils to 1# of base, so it's ok to measure with teaspoons. As for the calendula petals - you don't need to weigh them. Just add a small amount and keep adding until you think it looks good. Nothing scientific about it. :lol:

Why the castor oil? It will not add bubbles, since the MP base has already saponified. That works better in cold process soap. I would start with 1 TBS of the marigolds to one lb. of the MP base. Be aware that any added glycerin can make your soap weep or make it softer.

Thanks - Here's why I add the castor oil and glycerin "The castor oil adds emolliency and creamy lather. Glycerin helps skin retain moisture."
