There are two basic ways to make your soap whiter:
- Add some Titanium Dioxide (TD). If you're using Water-based Titanium Dioxide (Buy Direct), you add it to your lye-water mixture. If you're using Oil-based Titanium Dioxide (Buy Direct), then you can add it to your melted oils at any time up to trace. With either version of TD, I usually add about 1 tsp. per pound of oils. (ie. If your recipe has 32 oz. of oils in it, use 2 tsp. of TD). Once you get the feel for how TD works in your soap, you can use it to lighten the entire batch, or just part of a batch - incorporating it into swirls with other colors.
OR, to get great hard white soap, you can also:
- Adjust your recipe with "whiter" oils
