Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n

Oils & Fats<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • 170 g coconut oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 156 g olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 156 g rice bran oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 142 g of sustainable palm oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Lye solution<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • 89 g of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 200 g rosemary hydrosol<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 teaspoon sodium lactate (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Scent & Color<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      • 30 g rosemary essential oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Titanium dioxide (white)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Green oxide pigment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Preparation<\/h2>\n\n

        Preparing Dyes<\/h3>\n\n

        In two separate bowls, mix:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • 1 teaspoon of titanium dioxide mixed with 1 tablespoon of light liquid oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 1 teaspoon of green oxide pigment mixed with 1 tablespoon of light liquid oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          Set aside.<\/p>\n\n

          Making a lye solution<\/h3>\n\n

          \u26a0\ufe0f Always wear gloves and safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area.<\/p>\n\n

          Slowly add the sodium hydroxide to the rosemary hydrosol (never the other way around) and stir until everything is completely dissolved. Let it cool. <\/p>\n\n

          If desired, add sodium lactate to make a harder soap.<\/p>\n\n

          Preparing Oils<\/h3>\n\n

          Melt the solid oils and mix them with the liquid oils.<\/p>\n\n

          When both the oils and the lye solution have reached a temperature of approximately 38\u201349\u00b0C and are close to each other, pour the lye solution into the oils.<\/p>\n\n

          Blend with an immersion blender until a light trace forms.<\/p>\n\n

          Add Colors<\/h3>\n\n

          Pour about a quarter of the soap batter into a separate bowl.<\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • Add the titanium dioxide to the majority of the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Add half of the green pigment to the smaller portion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Mix both colors thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n

            Add essential oil<\/h3>\n\n

            Add the rosemary essential oil to both mixtures and stir thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n

            Creating a Marbled Effect<\/h3>\n\n

            Slowly pour the green batter into the white batter using the In-The-Pot Swirl technique<\/em> to create a natural marble pattern.<\/p>\n\n

            Stir only gently to preserve the swirl effect.<\/p>\n\n

            Pouring into the molds<\/h3>\n\n

            Pour the batter into the soap molds.<\/p>\n\n

            Gently tap the shapes on the work surface to remove any air bubbles.<\/p>\n\n

            If desired, you can lightly spray the surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol to minimize the formation of soda ash.<\/p>\n\n

            Curing<\/h3>\n\n

            Let the soap cure in the mold for 48 to 72 hours before removing it from the mold.<\/p>\n\n

            Then let the soap cure for 4 to 6 weeks in a dry, well-ventilated place.<\/p>\n\n

            Result<\/h2>\n\n
