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.
