Soap Challenge Club | Black Tie Affair: Spade and Hearts (Dec 2019)

Soap making video for the Soap Challenge Club December 2019 - Black Tie Affair in the regular category - making soap with black and white with one accent colour.
Please always follow safety requirements while making soap! Sodium/Potassium hydroxide is caustic and can cause burns on skin or on mucous membranes!
This is my second attempt for this challenge and will post the video for the first attempt soon! For this month's challenge, I have decided to drop all the complicated designs and do a simple marble soap swirl with the help of a squeeze bottle and a toothpick.
The colourants I used in this video were:
White- titanium dioxide
Red- red clay
Black - Activated charcoal
Essential oil blend: Lavender, rose geranium and Patchouli
Time links to the video:
