Getting back into the Soap Studio can mean lots of things, sometimes I just get to work...mixing up my soaps that I usually have in stock, replenishing my inventory. The magic happens on those days when there is nothing pressing to make and the imagination kicks in, the real alchemist in me can emerge. Those days are MAGIC!
Today I will be finishing up making two floral soaps: Plumeria and Jasmine. Making floral soaps can be tricky since the fragrance oils tend to "seize" and make the soap non-pourable (which is a very bad thing), this is what I call making soap with "running shoes" ON! You gotta move fast, have your oils very cool and really be aware of when you reach light trace. If you are interested in how to make cold process soap yourself, please check out the videos I have posted here by the Soap Queen/Brambleberry they are well made and very informative.
Well off to the Soap Studio ~ have a great day!
