It was supposed to be natural soap with white and teal swirls but forgetting the fragrance resulted in mostly a solid color soap. Bars are hardening well 2-3 days later, scent softening, Increase recipe to 56oz to fill 2-2# molds Make 2oz glycerine soap for each color Remove mango from formula and add to lard and tallow weights, and don't discount water to get a more fluid, finished soap. This formula was not quite fluid enough for multicolor designs.
