Soap Logs

This is what the soap looks like after I've cooked it up in the pot, added all the goodies, poured it into the molds, then turned it out after it hardens. My first soap mold was an old wooden wine box. Then hubby made me a second one to match, since my soap recipe makes exactly two molds' worth of pure sudsy goodness.

The soap cures (hardens) overnight, then I slice them into bars and let the bars air-cure for 2-3 weeks before wrapping/selling/using.

This batch is lavender. Saponified soy, olive and coconut oils, with lavender essential oil added. Smells divine. Available after 7/1/06.
