If my memory serves me correctly, the round ones hold 200mL per cavity, and the oval ones hold 250mL per cavity. The first thing I did was measure out the capacity of each of the cavities (I bought both the circular and the oval moulds). The circular moulds are definitely a bit more irksome than my tried-and-true, totally used to it wooden mould. So I’m a little weary on using the oxides again, or clay, if the color in the clay runs like did for the oxides. Does the clay that you use have the same dyeing/running effect that the oxides have? I used red and green oxide for my first batch of soaps, and the colors bled all over the shower/sink. Even if it’s just coming from the UK.ĪNYWAY, I do have a question about this recipe, and most other soap recipes. Right now I’m living in Germany, and it takes for EVER to get anything over here.

Let saponify for 24 hours before un-moulding and slicing. Swirl the two halves together using a spoon. Use an immersion blender to thoroughly blend the clay into the soap (otherwise you will have little clumps).īlend the remaining blue ultramarine into the remaining soap and pour that half into the mould. At trace add the essential oils, the clay, and a small amount of the oxide (maybe 1/3 of the ½ tsp). I recommend letting the oils and fats come down to room temperature before combining as it gives you more time to work. 15g peppermint essential oil ( USA / Canada)Ĭalculate your recipe using SoapCalc to get your final, finite amounts of the fats, lye, and water.įollow standard soap making procedure.
