Work in a well-ventilated area, away from children and pets. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully add the sodium hydroxide to the distilled water while stirring. Never add water to sodium hydroxide. Allow the solution to cool.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. Add the olive oil and castor oil. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the oils and the lye solution are at a suitable, reasonably similar temperature\u2014around 30\u201340 \u00b0C\u2014slowly mix them together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix until a light emulsion or a very thin \u201ctrace\u201d forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the fragrance oils in a verified, soap-safe concentration. First, test their effect on the \u201ctrace\u201d and check for any discoloration. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide the soap batter into two portions. Color one portion forest green and leave the other white, or color it lightly with titanium dioxide. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the two colors alternately into the mold to create a natural, forest-inspired swirl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the soap saponify and set; keep an eye on the temperature and prevent it from overheating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the soap from the mold once it&#8217;s firm enough, cut it into pieces, and let it dry in a well-ventilated area for about 4\u20136 weeks, or longer if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creative tip: Create a white top layer with a texture that resembles freshly fallen snow. Use green swirls throughout the soap to suggest evergreen branches beneath the frost. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-1024x286.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-394536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-1024x286.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-767x214.png 767w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-1536x429.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-441x123.png 441w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-990x276.png 990w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-2048x572.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-598x167.png 598w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-57x16.png 57w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-150x42.png 150w, https:\/\/www.youwish.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/landingpage-autumn-winter-fo-319x89.png 319w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-van-herfst-naar-winter-geurolie-collectie\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fall to Winter Fragrance Oil Collection<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fragrance oil used in this recipe is from the <strong>Fall to Winter Fragrance Oil Collection<\/strong>.
