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.

Making a castile soap… it is easy !

I think it should be the easiest soap making… and a softer and more ! It only takes a few ingredients because it contains a rate 100% olive oil. This is not a soap says “foaming”, but it is not so serious because now everyone knows… this is not the bubbles that wash ! Mr. soap does not foam but what it is gentle to the skin. This is also a perfect soap for toddlers. The recipe has been passed down for ages and just Castile in Spain… OLÉ ! Here's mine… finally… that I did what ! Here I make a castile soap to surgras 8 %.

Olive Hv 100 %

Reheat gently in olive oil. Add soda water and allow to cool. When both mixtures, water and soda, are room temperature (35 ° C.), pour the soda / water in your oil and mix until the appearance of the trace. Then add the essential oil and pour into your molds.

For decoration I simply asked some bay leaves on top of the dough freshly fit the mold and then sprinkled with green clay.

I finally got to use my soap and it is a wonder. It is so sweet, the smell is fresh and not heady. Pure soap and I like the cream color. Anyway, if you hesitate to start in making homemade soap, this recipe is perfect to start.

In the month of May I am back in my beloved country to visit family and friends. It was a wonderful trip, it had already been three long years since I had not returned. No need to tell you that I was lacking in my native Canada ! Not always easy to live away from his family but good… Ainsi va la vie. To return to our sheep… I had prepared beforehand to give small gifts, I had three different soaps which one I am presenting today.

It is as the name suggests a soap spices. I wanted black with golden yellow. I'm rather pleased with the visual result. The smell when cutting was absolutely delicious… a molasses cake as in my childhood. After his treatment he feels much cloves and molasses. Citrus fruits are harder to keep in soaps. Without delay, So here is my little recipe…

Milk soap plant

Ici un petit savon d’une grande douceur. L’odeur est exquise et très douce, donc pratique pour toute la famille. Car nos chéris en général n’aime pas de laver à la rose ;). Ici l’odeur ressemble un peu à un lait au caramel. Mon chéri l’a adoré !

Then add the rest of your ingredients. Séparer votre pâte en deux pour colorer l’une d’elle avec votre mica. Verser le tout dans vos moules et touiller à l’aide d’une baguette pour créer un effet de marbrure. Ici j’ai ajouté sur le dessus de mes savons les flocons d’avoine additionné de quelques brillants doré.

*Lorsqu’on ajoute à la trace un liquide ou une purée il faut mettre le minimum d’eau et compenser le reste par l’ajout désiré à la trace. Donc on calcul le maximum d’eau à mettre on soustrait par le minimum d’eau requis et cela nous donne la valeur pour notre ajout.

Soap "Flower Rice"

I made this pretty soap for a friend who wanted to offer a small gift to guests at the baptism of his daughter. She wanted a soap with a slight odor and not too heady. It is decided for rice flower fragrance, a very soft feminine odor. Here is the recipe for this little soap with packaging that I made for the occasion.

27 % Olive hv
25 % hv sesame
10 % beurre de karité

Water and soda to recalculate

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 (fragrance 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.

Here is the packaging and the label I made for this special opportunity. I first wrapped soaps in a brown paper, then in a pretty pink tissue paper. A pretty green ribbon around the whole anise and symbolizes the stem and leaves. The flower is creating dried rose petal (from my rosebush) glued one by one with a shiny heart.

Soap "tomato lemon"

J’avais envi de faire un savon de saison. Bon, of course tomatoes are not ripe yet, loin de là. Mais en faisant mon mini jardin de balcon, all specifically, planting my tomato plant in the planter, cela m’a donné une bonne idée de savon. Car la tomate dit on est bonne pour les peaux à problèmes et le citron aussi. Alors pourquoi pas en faire un savon pour le corps! Il est encore en cure et à vrai dire toujours dans ses moules depuis deux jours afin d’être bien sec. Néanmoins voici la recette et je vous en reparlerais lorsqu’il sera fin prêt !

30 % hv coconut
32.5 % hv macadamia
37.5 % Olive hv
Water and soda to recalculate

The trace :
4 % Grease on hv macadamia
tomato juice
ET lemon

Melt the oils together. Add soda water and cool. Je précise que j’ai coupé de moitié environ ma quantité d’eau et que je l’ai remplacé à la trace par du jus de tomate. 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, zest of lemons, mica and tomato juice) and pour into your molds. Avec le mica les zestes prennent une jolie couleur rouge, but this is not a requirement to use in the recipe.

For now I did not test it because it is not ready at all but I was really looking forward to the presented :). Mais lorsqu’ils seront sorti des moules j’en ferais d’autre photo promis.

Soap "tribute to the monastery"

Depuis que je suis arrivé en France on m’a fait goutté à beaucoup de spécialités régionales. Une d’entre elle m’a beaucoup surpris autant par son goût, que par sa fabrication et par sa magnifique couleur dont je raffole. Je parle bien sur de la Chartreuse, ce petit digestif fait avec beaucoup de patience et surtout dans le plus grand secret de ses fabricants. Les moines chartreux gardent jalousement sa recette mais nous laisse tout de même le plaisir d’y goutter. J’ai donc décidé d’en faire un savon… yes yes you understand !!

It is still undergoing treatment but it feels really good, l’odeur est légère et verte. J’adore !

The elixir unlike alcohol Chartreuse is used to relieve minor ailments… notamment des maux de cœurs. On en met une goutte sur un sucre ou dans le thé.

I invite you to visit the website of the cellars of Chartreuse in Voiron, really to be missed if you are in the Grenoble area. www.chartreuse.fr

And here is the Carthusian monastery, an order of monks who have made vows of silence… on ne peut pas visiter le monastère car ces moines sont coupé du monde mais les environs se visite. Une belle marche à pieds à faire dans les massifs de la chartreuse.
