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 tribute to Weeds…

There was a few months Kafee home Soapsession we threw a challenge “Americain soap“, make a soap under the theme of our favorite TV series. I must say that I had a hard time choosing because there are many that I like. But a special inspiration came to me with the series Weeds. If you've never watched I advise you… it's a little inspiration in British film “Saving Grace“, if you've never seen so… well go ahead it's a good slice of laughter !

Here is… then the heroine of the series traffics cannabis to feed his family following the death of her husband. Although it is not a consumer keen she is his drug iced coffees… she even downright drunk all the time. My soap is so inspired by these two things… Cannabis and iced coffee. I have a background of soap smells of coffee and patchouli, with ice melt in&for to finish with a green top layer made of hemp oil and smell of freshly cut grass. Here is the recipe…

Traditional method of soap cold
Melt the oils together. Add soda water 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, oil and mica) and pour into your molds. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves. Place in a dry place for a cure 4 weeks.

My steps
I cast my first dough “Basic coffee”, add my ice already pre-made and pre-cut. The next day I made my second dough, that hemp and poured it all over.

The design of the hemp leaf
It's very simple, in a thick plastic sheet bought in a DIY store, I drew my paper and cut it to the cuter. Then I've used as a stencil to cut my soaps (48 h after resting)… with pretty green glitter. Sympa non ?

To return to our sheep… I had prepared beforehand to give small gifts, I had three different soaps which one I am presenting today.

Ici j’ai ajouté sur le dessus de mes savons les flocons d’avoine additionné de quelques brillants doré.

*Lorsqu’on ajoute à la trace un liquide ou une purée il faut mettre le minimum d’eau et compenser le reste par l’ajout désiré à la trace. Donc on calcul le maximum d’eau à mettre on soustrait par le minimum d’eau requis et cela nous donne la valeur pour notre ajout.

Then add the rest of your ingredients (fragrance and mica) and pour into your molds. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves. Place in a dry place for a cure 4 weeks.

Here is the packaging and the label I made for this special opportunity. I first wrapped soaps in a brown paper, then in a pretty pink tissue paper. A pretty green ribbon around the whole anise and symbolizes the stem and leaves. The flower is creating dried rose petal (from my rosebush) glued one by one with a shiny heart.

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

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.
