Soap Gift From Maine USA

Here I am back from vacation… I took advantage of this and a little left side of the site. But here I am recovering from the rest and come back with a recipe that I liked to… a recipe for soap course !

A few months ago I did a soap for a great opportunity to meet with the ADNS. You can read what it is here. I wanted to make my creation on the theme holidays… I confess that I look forward to mine ! So I started thinking and I immediately thought of a trip I made small in a beautiful region of the United States. Maine ! Beautiful landscapes seaside, small white fences damaged by the wind and sand, colorful houses, blue hydrangeas, the tall grass with the big wooden walkways leading to endless beaches. Images forever etched in my head. We were in the area of ​​Old Orchard Beach… I also remember the huge lobster that my mother's cousin had eaten. I was impressed… Odors are also engraved in my head. The smell of salt, of iode, mixed with flowers and grass… a pure delight olfactory !

So without further ado here's the recipe that I made myself inspired by this beautiful journey…

Coconut oil 25 %
Palm oil bio 25 %
Olive oil 30 %
Rapeseed oil 20 %

Water and soda to recalculate
Greasing to 7 %

The trace :
Cream
Synergy of essential oils 2,5% ( Tea tree, Lemongrass, Geranium rosa, Absolute lemon and benzoin)

Greasing to 5% for dyes

Colorants

Titanium dioxide
Neon Blue - Titanium Dioxide

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. Add the rest of your ingredients (essential oil, 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 6 weeks.

Presentation
I cut each soap in two and tied a piece of string above. To give a spirit boat. All complemented by a label here as.

What technique of marbling ?
Here I used the technique to the hanger. I put about four hanger at the bottom of my mold, I cast my first two color and walked up slowly each hanger… to give the effect of the tall grass. Then I put the rest of my colorful pasta. Rien de bien compliqué 🙂

What I think
Already a few weeks ago that we use in the shower at home. I must say that I appreciate, it leaves the skin soft and very sweet. I love the smell, flowers and sweet… but hey this is very personal. I wonder what people think that I offered !
