Excited to share the latest addition to my #etsy shop: Handcrafted Bar Soap: Blue Baby Powder scented Soap.
My first attempt at melt and pour soap.
My first attempt at melt and pour soap.
I highly recommend this option for beginners. It is safe for children because it is already cured. This was so much easier than making soap from scratch with either cold or hot process soaping. Pretty swirls are harder to make, the melt and pot soap is pretty runny once it is heated up. But, if you want to make a quick batch of soap you can’t beat melt and pour soap. Once it hardens it’s ready to go. To get the interesting design, I had to let each layer partially harden. I used my freezer to speed up this process. The melt and pour process is also better for some more delicate essential oils that tend to burn during curing with cold process soap making. The burning happens when the chemical react of the lye and oils turning into soap naturally heats up the curing soap. This makes little brown spots in your soap, you soap still smell nice but, ends up not being as pretty.
If you are more into original designs, making soap from scratch using either the cold or hot process is better. You control the degree of trace for design making.
This blue soap is scented with bath powder scent. My husband loves the smell of this soap and the blue design, because it’s not to “girly”.
