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.

Ribizli és tölgy
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.2023. január 22.
Vízen úszó habszappan
A színezés kérdését sem gondoltam át eléggé. Mivel az illat neve vattacukor (és olyan is, édes, rózsaszín vattacukor illatú), ezért halvány rózsaszínt szerettem volna. Mindezt kárminnal, ami gyönyörű mályvás, ha nem éri levegő... ugye... khhhmm... A sok buborék közepette viszont annak rendje és módja szerint, sárgás, bézsessé, jelen esetben mondhatni láthatatlanná vált. De úszik a vízen! És ez a lényeg. Összetétel: kókuszolaj, disznózsír, sheavaj, ricinusolaj. Kukoricakeményítővel és kárminnal megtolva, de minek :) és a Vattacukor illatolaj.
Floating soap with Cotton candy scent
With a moderately regular recipe, in the heat of summer, this technique promises only moderate success. Because it was not made with palm oil, but with lard, and the coconut oil was also refined more liquidy than usual. By the way, the essence of the technique is to heat solid butters until they become medium runny and mix them with the lye with a whisk to get as many bubbles as possible. But if it's too hot, our mixture won't stay solid enough. I wanted to make cute frosting bag figures, but in the end I had to mold them because they wouldn't hold shape.
I didn't think enough about the coloring either. Since the name of the fragrance is cotton candy (and it smells like sweet, pink cotton candy), I wanted a pale pink. All this with carmine, which is a beautiful mauve when not exposed to air... isn't it... khhhmm... In between the many bubbles, however, according to its order and manner, it has become yellowish, beige, in this case it can be said to be invisible. But it floats on water! And that's the point. Ingredients: coconut oil, lard, shea butter, castor oil. Pushed with cornstarch and carmine, but for what :) and Cotton candy fragrance oil.

Petitgrain, citrom, cédrus
Petitgrain, lemon, cedarwood soap
Unbelievably striking combination. Just as much as this beautiful pattern is. Composition: base mass of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, castor oil, amended with white clay. The color is provided by activated charcoal and cosmetic pigments, and the fragrance is of the above mentioned three essential oils.

Black raspberry&vanilla
Black raspberry&vanilla soap
This scent is fruity, tart and sweet at the same time, I really like it.
Of course, I have to make it in shades of vanilla and the dark burgundy purple fruit. The pattern... hmm... would like to be a leopard if I practiced more :) I exceptionally added a lot of zinc oxide, not because of its color, but rather for the sake of the effect. Together with its rich composition, it calms the skin a bit, I would call it a kind of winter soap. The base mass is coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil. It was made with whey and colored with red and yellow clays and brown and blue pigments.

Táncoló bergamott
Dancing bergamot swirls in a soap
This is a clay soap with a divine delicate bergamot scent. The technique is very simple, you just have to drip the medium thick mass. You can do the same stunt with any kind of cake. Ingredients: coconut oil, lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil. The yellow clay called Goldocker deutch is so vibrant, the green, my favorite, Nicosia green clay. Of course, I boosted it with whey. The fragrance is exceptionally not an essential oil, but a fragrance oil. (Really, you can't get an EO at a reasonable price and quality anywhere!)
