My friend and I tried a new soap making technique this past weekend. It is whipped soap, you dont melt any of the oils down, just add to the mixer and start whipping, and add very cold lye water to it. It was a fun process and I cant wait to cut the bars and see how they soap up.
Here are the hard oils being whipped. Palm Oil, Coconut Oil & Beef Tallow.
Now we add the soft oils, Olive Oil & Castor Oil.
Pouring in the lye water.
Adding the lime based essentail oil blend.
Whipping...whipping...and whipping some more....
We added a green color to match the theme of the scent and then poured it in the log. In a couple days we will cut the bars and hopefully I will have something good to show you. :)
Luster Canyon derived from the need for products I could use on my own overly sensitive skin. That first batch of handcrafted lotion has grown into my passion for creating and sharing the benefits of my products with others. Follow my blog and read about our products, new creations and find out more about me, Stacie, my family and some of the random life moments that present themselves as I mix and measure my way through this adventure.
