2/27/10 soapmaking

I am obsessed with soapmaking.  I do Cold Processed soapmaking using a variety of oils and butters and lye and water to saponify into soap.

This past weekend I did a bunch of experimentation.  I made 7 batches of soap, each with a different color and fragrance and base recipe.  They were each 1lb batches. 

On saturday I made 3 batches,
* Sandalwood fragrance oil with burgundy oxide
* Grapefruit fragrance oil with yellow oxide
* Olive type fragrance oil with hydrated chrome green oxide.  

I used small plastic boxes from Staples as molds.  The grapefruit one I used a Nutter Butter cookie tray as the mold.  I put them into the oven to insulate them overnight.
