So far so good.
This is how things have gone thus far in my Twilight Soap Stars soap batch.
This is a biggy as I make few batches for real ,spending lots of time planning them first .But I make the God Father (for an amateur ) of batches once let loose.
This one is just over 26 gms. I had to use new mixing arrangements but that worked well.Usually for a lge 18 gms batch I use that white bucket, this time the flatter oblong plastic box. Both on wheel arrangments note.
It worked better cause my hand beater and the hand mixer reached right thru. Before I had to rely on that batterry drill and it was slower.
I alternated beating the pre mix oils in the Kenwood.
I prepared ingredients and colours over 3 days. I still left out the dark greeny blue colour but that was probably best because there is now a lovely contrast of Deep green, white and lavender with sone splatterings of hot pink and deep green gratings from pre mix.
Molds lined up and ready.
Ms. Messy fills molds, and oh, my feet need a massage with bubbles gorgeous scrubby.
Ingredients:
Cocoa Butter, Macadamia ,Coconot, olive, grape seed and rice bran oils plus Aloe Vera from my garden and goats milk.
I made a tea infusion with feverfew and sage leaves. All except goats milk were natural temps at 7 am here about 30 ambient then, now 34 . The year wants to go out on a hot one.
This was aimed mainly at the younger Twilight set so perfumed mysteriously gorgeous with ,Abysynth ,lime and sweet cakes egyptian musk . I mixed the perfumes in different colours so they are not actually combining so I hope they still anchor well.
Did I leave anything out , yes Almond meal . Now this was all set to be a great complexion soap and at last moment I threw in cosmetic grade imp dust .Body soap now ?
Here it is several hours later and it smells wonderfull and looks great.
I just tipped a very solid Butterfly mold out and it is, shaking with excitment, still lovely.
What a way to slip into the new year. :wink:
