I have been soaping with my sister. Let me present her first handmade soaps!
The looks is not what we aimed for. We wanted to make layered soap, something like the "Dreaming of Provence" with flower embeds. Things were going just fine until we added the Lemon Verbena FO by Gracefruit which seized in couple of seconds. Oh well, at least she has now seen what a total seizure is...
The recipe proved to be really good. The lather of this soap is great. It is hard to have the kind of nice thick lather like soaps with palm oil, but I think this one comes really close.
Recipe:
52% Olive oil
34 % Coconut oil
14% Castor oil
40% lye concentration
Lemon Verbena FO
French Green Clay
Method:
Cold process
