simple soap for beginners
Recipe Instructions
see hot process how to. at end. add a spice like cinnamon, poppy seeds, or crumbled bay leaves, etc. plus an essential oil...before you mold. stir in well. u can also use carrot strips: dried in the oven for color. (dried till shriveled) on 250 degrees.
use small boxes, lined with parchment (folded at the end) use clothespins or binder clips to hold the parchment on the box. Spray with either rubbing alcohol or olive oil spray, to keep from sticking...right before you pour the soap into the mold.
remember to start: the simpler the better and eassier...until you learn the process.
After you pour soap into the mold. Put it into the freezer for 3 hours. Then unmold and cut. let sit out to dry out for at least 7 days, before packaging and giving away...the water has to evaporate and the soap has to harden.
