Guest Post: Minty Mocha Mantra Marble Cold Process Soap Today, Erica Pence of Bath Alchemy Lab is taking over the blog with an awesome cold process tutorial. This Minty Turkish Mocha Mantra Marble Cold Process Soap is made using Erica’s newest technique, Mantra Marbles. This technique was introduced by Erica in The Artisan Soapmaker Issue 2 eZine –Soaper’s Toolbox, a publication for cold process and melt and pour soapmakers. I love how this technique turns out, and can’t wait to try it myself! Hi, I’m Erica from Bath Alchemy Lab. In the original mantra swirl, after the soap is divided into two colors and the divider is removed, a third color is added. So, how does one get all of the soap bars to have a true mantra swirl? 18 oz.

mai 2012 Pour faire ce savon (clic), j'ai procédé un peu de la même façon que pour le Savon Quadrillé et le Savon Triangles. D'abord, j'ai fait un savon noir dans mon long moule Café de Savon en forçant la phase de gel pour rendre le noir plus soutenu. Avec ma lyre, j'ai coupé des tranches de différentes épaisseurs. Le lendemain, j'ai refait un peu de savon et couler une fine couche (pas plus de quelques millimètres) de savon au fond de mon long moule en silicone. J'ai enfoncé les tranches de savon noir que j'avais déjà coupées dans cette pâte qui commençait à épaissir pour les caler, en essayant qu'elles soient les plus parallèles possibles entre elles. Comme les parois du moule avaient tendance à s'écarter comme on le voit sur la photo (elle est un peu floue, il faisait sombre et malgré le flash ...), j'ai ficelé le tout comme un rôti (photo ci-dessous). Le lendemain, j'ai démoulé le savon. Pour finir, j'ai coupé le savon en 6 (horizontalement), puis sur toutes les faces pour les égaliser.

Formulating Cold Process Recipes It may be the foundation of cold process soapmaking, and it’s often the most difficult and intimidating part — formulating a cold process recipe. From this post about my favorite cold process recipes to our Free Beginner’s Guide to Oils and Butters, we’ve got plenty of resources to help you create your own recipes. Sometimes though, it’s nice for a little refresher course if you want to try and create a recipe from scratch. Customizing your recipe is all part of the fun! When formulating a basic cold process recipe, you can never go wrong with a 33/33/33 ratio. We usually create recipes by starting with the trinity of base oils: Coconut, Palm and Olive. To formulate a recipe, start by designing your base oils or foundational recipe. There are some general rules of thumb that can make formulating recipes easier. At the end of the day, formulating a recipe is somewhat of a beautiful art that gets better with experience. 25% Coconut 25% Palm 30% Olive 15% Sweet Almond 5% Mango butter
