Soap for winter and spring fatigue
At least my skin suffers almost as much at the beginning of spring as it does in winter, it needs more care. That's when I usually make these kinds of turbocharged soaps. And, of course, color and aromatherapy can also come. The basis of this soap is coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, castor oil. Tossed up with lots of milk, honey and ground oatmeal. The color is Venetian red clay, the scent is called Refreshing citruses. I stamped them with my favorite birds. The small package travels far, as part of a program to support the education of girls who otherwise would not have a chance to go to school.2023. április 8.

Black oak currant wood grain soap
... or oak and currant, or hell knows what this plant actually is. But the main thing is that the smell is damn delicious. And another experiment with the wood grain pattern, this time with much more success. And I also really like the color combination, it really suits this fragrance. Composition: fairly basic soap based on coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil, without any extra additives. The color is made with titanium dioxide, activated charcoal, and micas and pigments. What I like about it is that each side is beautiful in a different way along the cuts.

A femur fejes szappan
The femur head soap
So this technique is called wood grain. It's very beautiful anyway, you just have to start with a less runny base and more patience than I did.
I took my fragrance called Roasted Chestnut, and since I had to think in a brownis pattern, I decided to try the swirl with this one. Black and white beside brown for contrast. But it was so roughed out that most soaps only have cloudy shades, or in better case, a marble-like pattern. But many of them look exactly like a longitudinal section of a lower extremity bone. Well that's it. But the smell is wonderful, the composition is divine. Coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil base with whey. I combined the colors with activated charcoal powder, titanium dioxide, and at that time I didn't think it would be such a stylish choice, but with a pigment called caput mortuum.
