The hubby is getting low on his camouflage soap. So here is another batch to make sure he does not run out of his supply!
Coconut oil, Olive oil, Rice Bran oil, Palm oil, Mango butter, and Castor oil.
Adding lye (sodium hydroxide or others call it alkali). Lye is the agent added to the oils and butters to make saponification possible. Without lye, there is no soap to be made.
Others do use melt and pour soap (I use it too for design purposes). Some don't use lye, instead, they melt the pre-made soap, add colorants, fragrance and pour it on a mold then call the soap "no lye soap".
Look at the texture of the oils and butters as it emulsifies. I love this part of soap making. It just feels like making cake batter.
Poured the above soap batter into four containers with green, brown, black and white. Activated charcoal for black, titanium dioxide for white and green and brown mica.
Dropping the colors alternately by spoonfuls.
My nine year old asked to helped and she did most of the spoon dropping of the colored batter into the mold.
This is one design I always have in stock. I don't want to let my number one customer run out of his supply.
Thanks for stopping by!
