Soap making video for 2020 KZfaq Soap Collaboration - Flower Power hosed by Renee Cormalis from Soaps for Love.
Please always follow safety requirements while making soap! Sodium/Potassium hydroxide is caustic and can cause burns on skin or on mucous membranes!
Welcome again! I am so excited to join this soap collaboration. I missed out the last collaboration at christmas and this is my first time joining the collaboration. For this collaboration, I wanted to do a design that will remind me of spring time and I came across this photo (sallysbakingaddiction.com/dec...) on google with lovely colours of pastel pink, green and creamy white. I want to do a similar design with soap - piping roses on top! I think this definitely features the flower power theme so well!
The colourants I used in this video were:
White- Kaolin Clay
Pink - Pink Clay
Green - Spirulina
Essential oil blend: Cedarwood atlas, lavender, rose geranium and tea tree
