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
