Christmas Spice Soap

We are the 24 December… and what better way to wish you all and all a Merry Christmas… a small festive recipe ! A mild soaps for the holidays. I made this one a while ago and I must say it smells wonderful. Here is the recipe…

Coco 28 %
Olive 35 %
Raisin 30 %
Brut cocoa 7 %

Surgras to 7%
Water and soda to recalculate

Additions to the trace :
Fragrance Christmas spice 2 %
Oxide green
Red oxide
Titanium dioxide
Star anise (badianes)

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 mold. Wait 48 h and unmold your soaps with gloves, cut all. Place in a dry place for a minimum cure 4 weeks.

Here I made one a little marbling “free style”, ie no matter how ^ ^. And once again I had a surprise when cutting…. form of a bird sitting on the horns of a reindeer… it is vague in the drawing you say, but it made me smile.

I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry Christmas ! I hope you have a wonderful time… please be careful and if you drink… do not take the road !

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 grape seeds 32 % (well yes a must… champagne… raisin…)
HV coconut 30 %
HV olive 25 %
Palme HV bio 13 %

Water and soda to recalculate
Surgras 7%

Additions to the trace :
Mica noisette + Mica doré
Shiny silver mica food on top
Fragrance champagne

Difficulty : Conservation : Several months

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 ^ ^ !
