Soap making process

Last weekend I made a few batches of soap

Here's some pictures of the process it goes through


                                                 1.  Poured and ready in the mould.

I place waxed paper over the soap as soon as I pour it as I find it reduces ash


2.  A nice gel phase is going on here!!

3.  Sides of moulds removed after about 24 hours , ready to cut

4.  Cut and laid out to cure...will be ready in about 4 weeks to wrap

Lavender/Orange/Patchouli with ground lavender,  Carrot with poppy seeds, Unscented with ground oatmeal and a Green Tweed (FO)




And then we have an example of a seized soap..something you don't want to see!!
