The Grape Escape (Hot Process)
Recipe Instructions
Hot process:
- Melt oils over double boiler and add pigment.
- Reserve 25g of olive oil, and mix with mica.
- Reserve 25g of olive oil, and mix with grape FO.
- Mix lye & water in separate container.
- At 130/140F incorporate lye water and oils together.
- Emulsify with stick blender and bring to trace.
- With the double boiler at a low setting: allow the emulsified mixture to gel and saponify without going past 212F (past 212F and it will erupt/boil)
- Once "vaseline" stage is reached: add sodium lactate and mix (the soap should loosen up and become more liquid)
- Add the reserved grape FO/olive oil mixture and mix
- Finally: pour in the reserved olive oil/mica mixture and stir minimally to create streaks before pouring into mold
