How to make cold process soap dough for modelling, extruding and embeds: Tutorial with recipe

Soap dough is so much fun to create and mould, It can take your soapy creations to the next level in terms of design and "wow factor" and it really is pretty easy to make.

In today's video, we are showing you how we make our own soap dough. We are using our regular soap recipe to create our soap dough as we find that our standard recipe works really well for soap dough. It also makes things much easier when it comes to getting our soaps assessed for sale in the UK.

In this video we cover what you need to do to turn your regular soap recipe into soap dough using a really easy and relatively quick process. In our next video on Friday we will be showing you hot to take your soap dough and create some eye catching decorations to use on the top of your soaps.

If you wish to use our recipe to create your soap dough, then these are the ingredients and measurements that you need to work with.

109g Sodium Hydroxide
240g Water
340g Olive Oil
99g Sweet Almond Oil
