Lavender soap do it yourself

And traditionally describe what we got in the end. Three-layer soap with a delicate lavender scent. The colors are pastel, the nacre luster is almost negligible, which we wanted to achieve, the colors will not migrate in the future, since they used pigment. The soap was used for washing and washing hands, the skin is delicate, does not dry, the wounds on the skin healed faster, thanks to lavender essential oil and base linseed oil. Foam is not very abundant, but sufficient. Note that essential oils sometimes act as allergens, so make sure that you are not allergic to lavender essential oil.
