In this video I make cold process soap with spruce tip infused olive oil.
A few weeks ago I went to the forest to pick some spruce tips and wanted to include them in a soap recipe.
I colored the soap naturally with spinach powder. I like how bright green the soap bars turned out and I hope the color doesn't fade with time.

Thank you for watching!
