Orange Butter Lip Balm

The other day I made the Tropical Rose Soap which I had to force through saponification because my temperatures were too hot. I was so in love in the color, smell and feel of this soap I decided to make another soap without the cosmetic problems my first batch had. Come join me this delightful soap!
This time when I made this soap, I let my temperatures cool until they were at about 130° F. Probably still a little on the warm side but I didn’t have any troubles! Yea! I am afraid I am just a little too impatient. Sigh. Maybe I need to put some meditation music on while I am in the blog kitchen. Ugh! Patience is really hard! Did you know I can make cookies, brownies, cakes, soaps, lotion and creams all from scratch but my omelets are ALWAYS under done? It isn’t like omelets take any longer. In fact they take less time. I was really pleased with how smooth the soap was when I poured it into the molds. It reminded me of when you make ice cream and pour it into the ice cream maker. A few weeks ago I made a Hibiscus flavored ice cream that looked just like this soap. It was super yummy! These beautiful bars are now up to par with the pure luxuries of this soap. Mnn. I think I either want to use an outdoor shower or go visit one of our local springs. What a great way to relax and feel super sexy! P.S. Did you know that soap (not detergent) is biodegradable? How cool is that! You can even take your soap camping. Yippee! Collect Needed Items:
Recipe:
Weigh all of the oils into a microwave safe container. Heat gently until liquid. Add the lye to the water to for a lye solution. Mix the oils and lye solution and blend until a light trace is achieved. Add the Rose Fragrance Oil and and mix well. Pour into a mold and allow to sit for 24 hours. Cut the soap. Allow the soap to cure. Longer curing time will result in a harder bar. Enjoy! |
