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.

Soap parties in little sparkling !

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…

HV coconut 30 %
HV olive 25 %
Palme HV bio 13 %

Water and soda to recalculate
Surgras 7%

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 🙂

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…

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…

Basic coffee
Coconut oil 30 %
Rapeseed oil 35 %
Cocoa butter 35 %

Traditional method of soap cold

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 ?

Deodorant for sensitive skin with silk proteins

With razor burn were often comes to be sensitive armpits. Deodorants are often very itchy and when one wants “good” deodorant it is sometimes difficult to combine sensitive skin and effectiveness. Here is a simple formula, Soft and cuddle your pretty underarm :-D.

Pour your mixture in a tube applicator quickly adapted. You will find very well in Macosmetoperso.

*If you plan to replace the solar exposures of petitgrain essential oil is photosensitizing (some are the variety… response to the comment of the Blue petitgrain bigarade would not… so do not deprive yourself ^ ^)… by one who is not like lavender or cistus.

**If you have a high sweat can add a little baking soda… but I think in the long run it becomes a little irritating if it is too large quantity. The alum powder is also.

Here is a small label to decorate your pretty tube !
