Soap Citronet !

Everything is in the title… a soap that smells like lemon and clean. Here I used a fragrance as having made soaps with essential oil of lemon in the past… I know that citrus essential oils that do not always hold up well in soap. The fragrance here smells sweet lemon actually. So a little back to childhood for me ^ ^.

How does that I offer recipes for soaps ? Ben oui… the holidays arrive… so I carbureted for a month to make soaps as gifts. Du coup j’en ai beaucoup de recettes à vous montrer 🙂 Voici donc la recette de mon citronet…

Coconut oil 25 %
Beurre de Karité 15 %
Organic Palm Oil 12 %
Olive oil 30 %
Soybean Oil 18 %

Surgras to 7 %
Water and soda to recalculate

The trace :
Lemon fragrance 2 %

Decor :
Ecorse lemon
Neon yellow dye
Bright lime green

Traditional method of soap cold
Melt the oils together. Add soda water (not the other) and cool. When both mixtures, water and soda, are room temperature, pour the soda / water in your oil and mix until the appearance of the trace. Then add the rest of your ingredients (essential oil, fragrance, oil, oxide, mica) and pour into your mold. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves, cut all. Place in a dry place for a minimum cure 4 weeks.

I like the color of this soap… a creamy beige with neon yellow. I applied the same method as my soap scroll, but here my mold was made of wood… I think it changes the rebound effect. It's pretty small by against yellow flames.
Here is a small label to accompany the soap.

My fancy soap… Orange delight !

I love how visual experiences in soap. I guess it must be my side “artist” takes over in these moments :D. Still it is after seeing the technique to make nice drops in our soaps with the technique of Ka. I thought… hummm and what it might have happened if I did like this and that… And what was my surprise when the stripping and cutting my soap seen these beautiful curls !!!

Method that I call “rebound” used for this soap visual

In fact I have done exactly as in the Ka video you can see here… but I did my very slight traces ! This means that my dough was much more fluid than his.

I took a plastic mold from a height of approximately 6 cm I lined with parchment paper. I think the mold material is important for the “rebound” if Fasse. I did this technique in a wooden mold and the effect is not the same but still very nice. I'll show you the result with another of my creation savonnesque.

I separated my dough one remained unchanged and the next I added the turmeric. I poured some of my dough and made clear vertical tracks quickly with my colored paste. With a spatula I applied the rest of my dough and made clear my marbling with the rest of my orange mixture.

Well no it's not that simple ^ ^.

My impression soap
I like turmeric in soaps… here he gave me a pretty rusty ! The foam is very soft and fine. And the smell… oufff but the smell is to die I love !! I would do this synergy that's for sure ! Here I used the’Orange essential oil from at Soapsession, it is really good in soap, which is not the case for all essential oils citrus.

A big thank you to these magnificent Ka tutorials and videos !! Well yes it is thanks to you I made this soap !! She workshops if you ever environmental learning at the hands of an expert ! You will find everything on soapsession.com

Savon milk & berries

I made this soap there is now 1 month and dust. I wanted to try my new wooden mold made especially for me. I was not disappointed, it is fantastic… a big thank you to my dear uncle ! So this soap… I wanted a little more tasty and fruity smell. So I opted for two fragrances, one of milk and the other of mature & litchi. The latter is a real discovery for me… a complete delight ! I would say lower or you get. Here is the recipe of my beloved soap…

Hv coconut 30 %
Olive Hv 28 %
Hv Grape seed 22 %
Hv palme bio ** 20 %

Water and soda to recalculate
Greasing to 8 %

Additions to the trace :

White part
Brillant Mica * + hv rice bran
Fragrance milk

Violet portion
Oxide violet * + hv rice bran
Fragrance mature & litchi

Difficulty : Conservation : Several months

Method :
Always the same for soaps. Melt the oils together. Add soda water and allow to cool. When both mixtures, water and soda, are temperature of 40 ° C, pour the soda / water mixture into your oil and mix with a hand blender until the appearance of the trace. Then add the rest of your ingredients (fragrances, oxides and mica) , pour into your molds. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves, they cut it if necessary. Place in a dry for a cure 4 weeks.

Marbling :
Here I put my purple portion at the bottom of my first mold. I installed long spoon inside the dough, sleeves up. I then cast my whiteware. I pulled one by one spoon forming a gesture “vague”. It gave me a bit strange marbling but I like it anyway. 🙂 J’ai aussi fait une étiquette… I've listed the ingredients… not in Latin but in French which I find easier to understand when the offers as a gift.

*For your dye does not ugly lumps, mix it with a little oil. This will give a soap with a more uniform color.

** I chose this oil as a test because I had never used, However this oil is highly contested because of the deforestation caused by culture. This is a very sensitive issue… I will sell my stock… On verra well.

The famous fragrance Mure Litchi
I find it in Soap Session, a small shop where you can buy everything you need to know your. Karine is a real gem… it also offers courses in soap making, where she shares his tips and some of his secrets !!

Soap "tomato lemon"

J’avais envi de faire un savon de saison. Bon, of course tomatoes are not ripe yet, loin de là. Mais en faisant mon mini jardin de balcon, all specifically, planting my tomato plant in the planter, cela m’a donné une bonne idée de savon. Car la tomate dit on est bonne pour les peaux à problèmes et le citron aussi. Alors pourquoi pas en faire un savon pour le corps! Il est encore en cure et à vrai dire toujours dans ses moules depuis deux jours afin d’être bien sec. Néanmoins voici la recette et je vous en reparlerais lorsqu’il sera fin prêt !

30 % hv coconut
32.5 % hv macadamia
37.5 % Olive hv
Water and soda to recalculate

The trace :
4 % Grease on hv macadamia
tomato juice
ET lemon
he de tea tree
dried lemon peel in the sun
Mica cuivre

INS : 157

Difficulty : —–Conservation : several months PH : To be

Melt the oils together. Add soda water and cool. Je précise que j’ai coupé de moitié environ ma quantité d’eau et que je l’ai remplacé à la trace par du jus de tomate. When both mixtures, water and soda, are room temperature, pour the soda / water in your oil and mix until the appearance of the trace. Then add the rest of your ingredients (essential oil, zest of lemons, mica and tomato juice) and pour into your molds. Avec le mica les zestes prennent une jolie couleur rouge, but this is not a requirement to use in the recipe.

For now I did not test it because it is not ready at all but I was really looking forward to the presented :). Mais lorsqu’ils seront sorti des moules j’en ferais d’autre photo promis.

Savon "crumble aux pommes"

Et oui… ça y est j’ai attrapé la savonnite !! C’est la gentille et adorable Youpipi qui m’a transmise le virus de la création de savons. Elle a été assez gentille pour venir m’encourager dans cette nouvelle discipline… que je commence vraiment à apprécier. Par contre faut être patient car les savons doivent sécher pendant un mois. Cela dit après on est bien contente du résultat. Bon j’ai eu un peu de souci avec cette première création mais je dois dire qu’ils sentent VRAIMENT bon !! Here is the recipe !

172 g de hv de coco
175 g hv de pépins de raisins
