Yuzu & Calendula

I love the look of this soap. This glycerin soap is scented with Yuzu...a sparkling grapefruit scent...also added to the soap is calendula flowers.

Calendula (kə-len-jə-lə) is beneficial in skin care to soothe inflammation and is known for its antiseptic properties.

We make calendula soap in the above glycerin soap, and we also have it in an unscented cold process soap.

Making Sample Soaps

I am making sample soaps which I havent done in a while, so I made calendula as my first batch, I measured my calendula to add in at trace....

Poured into my molds, I did one as the sample bars and one regular loaf...

 The next day when I go to cut the bars...I remember my log splitter had broken wires, no instructions but I am determined to figure this out, it is just guitar wires...

I know the end piece goes into this piece on the bottom as the anchor... 

Then it threads up top and gets wound around the top pieces that spin it tight...but I had issues with this and 2 hands werent enough, but I tried my best...

Then when I tried to snip off the excess wire the pliers got stuck closed on the wire instead of snipping it off...so here is where I gave up and made do to fix later when The Hubs got home..

So with one string still missing I ran it through....turned it around and ran it through to cut the other side to get my four mini logs lol...

...Last step is the mini cutter....and voila I soon have over 60 sample bars.
