••• AFFILIATE STORE •••

In case you’re interested, I have an affiliate store where I’ve listed all of the soap making supplies and materials that I purchase on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2DZmGfJ

If you use those links to buy anything, it won’t cost you anything extra, but I will receive a very small percentage of the sale. Every little bit helps, though, so thank you very much if you do! :)


••• RECIPE •••
See end of video for recipe

Essential oil blend for fragrance:
Sweet Orange 6X - 20%
Lavender - 25%
Lavandin - 20%
Litsea Cubeba - 30%
Patchouli - 5%

First time using this blend. I liked it much better after the soap cured a few weeks and the litsea cubeba had faded a bit. It’s a nice fresh scent, but I’ll probably lower the litsea to about 25% and up the lavender/lavandin next time.

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.
