Some time ago my neighbor gave me a rose from her garden… a gorgeous pink to captivating perfume. I could not believe that such a delicate flower withstand cold temperatures if. She even told me to keep my vase better left outside. So it gave me an environment to make soap ! Yeah because anything can become an excuse to make soap ^ ^.

This rose also made me think of a person who has ever crossed my path. In a contest that launched the theme of the rose I was able to learn a bit, that person so strong and fragile at the same time. A person who despite difficult circumstances like this all pink, it is beaten. Today it is a place that we simply do not know mortal. I like to think of where it is… roses are eternal. I think some will know who I mean. I dedicate this recipe to him…

HV rape 30%
HV coconut 25 %
HV olive 20 %
HV cocoa 6,5 %
HP Palme 18,5 %

Greasing to 8%
Water and soda to recalculate

The trace :
Fragrance rose 2%

Mica brillant
Mica rose
Emerald Green Mica *
Rosebuds


Difficulty : Conservation : Several months

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 molds. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves. Place in a dry place for a minimum of cure 4 weeks.

*Here my emerald green mica became actually a little verdigris… So I think it must contain a mineral oxide oxide with soda. So if you ever want a soap dyed a nice green… stay away from this one.

The fragrance slightly accelerated my track so I had to pay promptly and I could not do what I wanted marbling. The look is not very professional but it also soap… although it is expected that things not always work the way you want. Always it is that this soap smells good…. very english rose !

The last few weeks I really carbureted in soap making. Well yes… the holidays approach and I think that handmade soap makes a wonderful gift. Especially when we did oneself. So I wanted to make very festive know.

When we speak we often think of celebrations with champagne or sparkling I thought it would be nice to give them this key, but hey put champagne in my soap is not yet in my ways !! So I continued my research on the internet and when the fragrance champagne and I we crossed… given that much to this…

Method of cold saponification :
Always the same for soaps. Melt the oils together. Add soda water (not the other) and cool. When both mixtures, soda + water and oil temperature are 40 ° C, pour the soda water mixture in 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 place for a cure 4 weeks.

Here to create a worse I first put a little mica in my dough. Pay first, add mica, mixed, donate and so on. This is a slight deterioration golden… we do not really see the pictures… it's a shame. I then did the same technique of drawing on my savon Weeds… cutting with a star.

I made it there about four weeks… I will not say how much I look forward to using it ^ ^ !

En voici deux photos à la lumière du jour et l’autre fut prise au lever du jour 🙂

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 !!!

Let's start with the recipe for soap…

Hv coconut 30 %
Hv soy 25 %
Olive Hv 25 %
Cocoa butter 19 %

7 % surgras
Water and soda to recalculate

The trace :
2 % He orange, clary sage and lavender
Turmeric


Difficulty : Conservation : Several months

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.

 

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

Ici un petit savon d’une grande douceur. L’odeur est exquise et très douce, donc pratique pour toute la famille. Car nos chéris en général n’aime pas de laver à la rose ;). Ici l’odeur ressemble un peu à un lait au caramel. Mon chéri l’a adoré !

150 g virgin olive oil
85 g sunflower oil
1 cc of vitamin E

* water and soda to recalculate

The trace :

Oatmeal

Difficulty : star star starstar ––Conservation : several months

Melt the oils together. Add soda water and allow to cool. When the two mixtures are at a temperature of about 40 ° C., pour the soda / water in your oil and mix until the appearance of the trace. Then add the rest of your ingredients. Séparer votre pâte en deux pour colorer l’une d’elle avec votre mica. Verser le tout dans vos moules et touiller à l’aide d’une baguette pour créer un effet de marbrure. 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.

I made this soap at the beginning of summer, in late June, pour nos vacances en camping et à la plage. Je voulais un savon pratique qui puisse faire corps et cheveux mais aussi avec des propriétés anti moustiques. On sait tous que les moustiques n’aime pas le géranium… cette huile essentielle est aussi très bonne pour les cheveux fragilisé, d’où sont utilité pour des cheveux affecté par le soleil et l’eau de mer. J’ai attendu pour vous le présenter afin d’avoir l’avis de ma famille et le verdict est sans appel… il mousse bien et laisse les cheveux très doux. Here is the recipe !

Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves, If soaps are sticky place in the freezer a few hours before unmolding (thank you to Keskafée this trick). Place in a dry place for a cure 4 weeks.

I bought this mold there 6 mois car j’adore ce film. Je trouve que le titre va bien avec un produit anti moustique ;) . Un fight club pour faire la guerre aux moustiques !

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

Difficulty : star star star star—–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.
