Another melt and pour: rose clay goat’s milk soap

This was yesterday’s project, another melt-and-pour project inspired by Brambleberry. Here are the details with modifications from the original project:

32 oz goat’s milk MP base

4 tsp rose clay

9 mL orange EO

9 mL rosemary EO

1 tbl 99% isopropyl alcohol (mix with clay to disburse)

99% isopropyl alcohol spray

In other news, I unmolded my cold process project from the other day. I was a little disappointed, because when I went to cut the 4-inch cube into bars, it was crumbly and I couldn’t get nice clean edges.

Activated Charcoal Facial Soap with Tea Tree EO

I’m dabbling in soap making again, mostly because it’s like cooking but without the eating and the calories. I have two batches of soap curing right now. Because these two batches need to cure for four weeks and won’t be ready until late August, I needed just a little bit of instant gratification.

This is a melt-and-pour project from Brambleberry, which is where I also bought all my supplies. I cut the recipe in half (about 16 oz), which is a little less than 3.8 oz per flower. This is intended to be a facial soap, as activated charcoal, tamanu oil, and tea tree EO are all said to have healthy skin and healing properties.

I adjusted the recipe as follows:

11 oz shea butter melt and pour
1.5 tsp tamanu oil
.5  tsp activated charcoal
2 mL tea tree EO
99% isopropyl alcohol spray

UPDATE: I will update once I actually use it!
