How to make soap: Making our Taiwan swirl cold process soap with all natural clay colourants

Today we are creating strawberry scented cold process soap and we are using the Taiwan Swirl technique to swirl the soap into a very beautiful pattern. The soap is naturally coloured using Rose, Brazilian and Kaolin clays and activated charcoal and we then use a chopstick to swirl the soap while it is in the mould, creating this attractive Taiwan swirl design

This limited edition soap will be available to purchase on our website from midnight on 1st February 2021

We are using the 5lb loaf mold from Bramble Berry to create this design and this is the recipe that we used to fill our mold:

218g Sodium Hydroxide
480g Water
680g Olive Oil
198g Sweet Almond Oil
114g Castor Oil
368g Coconut Oil
150g Shea Butter
76g Cocoa Butter
2g Activated Charcoal
1g Kaolin Clay
9g Brazilian Purple Clay
9g Rose Clay
40 g Strawberry Fragrance Oil
