Soap tribute to a Winter Rose

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…

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 !

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.

Body powder “sweet dreams”

I love body powders… surtout avant de me coucher. J’ai l’impression de m’envelopper dans un petit nuage. J’avais une poudre pour bébé d’une marque très connu “J * hson &J * hson” à la lavande. Été comme hiver je l’utilisais, but good… le pot est maintenant vide. A défaut d’en racheter d’une autre marque, je me suis dit que ce serait bien de m’en faire une moi même. D’autant plus que j’ai reçu il y a bien longtemps, in an order I made in Lady Glamourdise a beautiful little puff of a vintage style and made entirely by hand… j’adore !
