Lavender soap recipe
1 layer
- Cut the entire selected base into cubes with a rib size of half a centimeter.
measure 34 grams of white base on scales.
- Prepare a water bath (if you will not be heated in a microwave).
- Melt 34 grams of white base in a water bath (as we have in the photo) or in a microwave oven (at maximum power for up to 2 minutes, stir in 30 seconds). Stir gently not quickly, otherwise bubbles may form at the base. Do not bring to a boil!
- While the base is being heated, ¼ tsp the dry pearlescent pigment with a part of the base oil. You will get a homogeneous mush.
- In a melted base, add a grinded pigment, 7 drops of essential oil and mix gently.
- Sprinkle the form with alcohol from a spray bottle.
- Pour the resulting mass into the mold.
- After the base grabs, scratch the surface with a toothpick (this is necessary for the layers to adhere).
2 layer
- Melt 34 grams of transparent base in a water bath or in a microwave.
- When the base has melted, add 2 drops of liquid violet pigment and stir until smooth..
- Add a portion of the base oil and 7 drops of essential oil, stir again.
- Sprinkle the surface of the previous layer with alcohol, for better adhesion.
- Pour the second layer of your soap and let the surface set.
- Scratch the top purple soap layer.
3 layer
- Prepare a third, final layer of soap, repeating the instructions for the first layer.
- Sprinkle your final layer with alcohol to avoid bubbles on the surface of the soap.
- Put the mold in a cool place to cool and dry completely (it took us 40 minutes).
- Take the soap out of the mold (start the air bubble into the plastic mold and the soap will come out easier).
- You can use soap immediately, but it is better to let the bar rest for about 24 hours.
- If you intend to store soap for a while, to preserve the smell, wrap the bar in cling film.
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.

I did not understand why splashing layers of alcohol? I know that this should be done, but why, I don’t understand) When I make soap with my own hands, I also splash it) Can I do without it?
Alcohol helps to better bond the layers and avoid the appearance of bubbles. In order that the layers would not move away from each other, it is necessary to scratch the surface and sprinkle with alcohol!
Thanks for the answer! Now it is clear) So, we will splash))
Excuse me. but what does the title of the article “soap from scratch” have to do with it? Why are you deceiving beginners and ignorant soap makers? or you yourself also do not really understand.
Yes, you are right, when editing a typo crept in, already corrected!
