A soap for hot summer days- Mint & Lemon
Овој сапун составен е од мојата омилена комбинација на млечни производи во сапун: козјо млеко, јогурт и слатка павлака!
I made this one with my fave milk combo in soap - goat milk, yogurt and heavy cream.
Во летните месеци, кожата е повеќе изложена кон надворешните фактори, па така имаме сонце, намалена влажност во воздухот, како и загадувањата во него, да влијаат на нашата кожа да стане посува, да се перута, дури и ако не е склона. Иако сончевата светлина поволно влијае на сите живи суштества на нашата планета, за да бидеме негувани, мораме да му приуштиме на нашиот најголем орган, соодветна грижа.
Покрај сите средства кои ги користиме после бањање (а тоа е тема за нека друга прилика), прв чекор е квалитетна бања! Тоа е она што сапунот ви го дава - чистење и нега!
Besides, it's loaded with shea butter and almond oil for providing enough moisture and hydratation to skin during summer months.
Smells like mint, lemon with a floral hint - quite refreshing and invigorating!
That floral hint gave me a pretty nasty discolouration in the base portion in the first, swirled layer! The upper part was spoon-layered and could have been better done. The balls on the top are covered with mica in oil emulsion and I know it will be rubbed off easily. I have read someone uses a hair-spray to make mica stick to the cured soap, but I don't use any, so....some day when I get one, I might try this.
Состав / Ingredients: Сапонифицирани масла/ Saponified oils - Maслиново масло (Sodium olivate), Кокосово (Sodium Cocoate), Палмино (Sodium palmate), Рицинусово (Sodium Castorate), Бадемово (Sodium Almondate), Ши путер (Sodium Shea Butterate), Козјо млеко (Goat milk), Јогурт (Yogurt), Слатка павлака (Whipping cream), козметички пигменти (pigments), мирис (fragrance)
А сега, ево уште еден сапун што го направив да ја задоволам својата љубопитност во врска со оваа техника! Бев воодушевена како испадна. Еве го:

| Свежо сипан сапун - Freshly poured soap |
This is my peacock swirl attempt. I was happy to have had outcome like on the picture below, but not so happy to discover what it has turned into next morning.
Содржи исто така, козјо млеко, јогурт и слатка павлака, како и бадемово масло.
Но, не бев задоволна од крајниот исход, поради боите, кои малку избледеа.
Иако мириса преубаво и дури не изгледа лошо, овој сапун нема да се најде во проджба. Но, поради неговиот состав, како и мирис, сигурна сум дека во него ќе уживаат 'friends & family'!
Ви благодарам на вашето време!
The colours faded away, but this story I was telling you already, at some other place. :-)
This soap contains also three-milks combo along with sweet almond oil and I'm sure my friends and family will enjoy its beautiful scent and ingredients composition!
A new soap is upcoming, stay tuned...

Wow, your chill-out soap looks like a landscape. Like a dessert with several moons in the sky. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteSorry that the colors of our peacock soap faded. They were so beautiful in the raw soap.
Thanks Marika,I haven't seen it your way! Interesting artistic point of view!
DeleteYes,my peacock will be certainly used,I just hate when thinks are not going the way I want! :-(

ReplyDeleteGorgeous soap as always Maja! I like the swirls and soap balls. The pictures are also beautiful. Pretty sad for the peacock swirl but final outcome not bad at all!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! Peacock will wait for another shot! Now,I'm just discouraged with this one!
DeleteWow, wow, wow, Maja! The chill-out soap is more than a soap, it's pure art!
ReplyDeleteI had the same with my peacock soap, I thought it only happens to natural colorants( or did you also use natural colorants?). Still , the soap is beautiful, Maja!
Omg, you're flattering me, Nat!
DeleteI used oxides and dyes,but I might have put little,I don't know.
Even though your peacock swirl didn't turn out how you were expecting, I still love the colors. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne-Marie, but the colours should have been much better than I turned out! Next time,I suppose...
DeleteBoth soaps are gorgeous, Maja! "Chill Out" looks beautiful with all of the embeds and swirls, and lemon and mint are so refreshing together. It's too bad that the colors faded in the sad peacock, but it is still nice, and I'm sure that everyone will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, neither turned out as planned, but the 'peacock' really seemed to be piece of cake, but when you expect the least, troubles occurs... Going further...
DeleteLoving the chill out soap, so pretty, kind of like Van Gogh's Starry Night.
ReplyDeleteYour faded peacock would appeal to someone who loves pastel colours and wants some colouring but not anything that stood out too much. And you can still see the pattern, which I think is neat.
I'm blushing... comparing me to 'Starry Night'...- it's a top compliment, thank you, Monica!
DeleteYou see, I never thought my 'Peacock' could actually appeal to someone who doesn't know what it should have looked like! Interesting point, thanks!
Your work is amazing Maja, you're the soaping equivalent of the great painters. :)
DeleteI think with anything subjective like this, it's bound to appeal to someone. I honestly believe in some ways it's more beautiful because it is so different from the other peacock soaps I've seen.
Cannot thank you enough for your compliments,Monica! A recognition coming from a soap maker fellow always means the most!
DeleteLove Chill Out, what a fun soap! Your peacock swirl is amazing...kudos to you for trying it, I couldn't bring myself to try it! I do love the soft colors your peacock swirl turned too. Also, if you have rubbing alcohol, that might help the mica stick?
ReplyDeleteYou should try it, you can always leave the top unfragranced,it means a lot when you're not sure how one will behave. The technique is really amazing, but the wet soap cannot be compared to cut pieces. It's just not that beutiful when cut, that's why took mw so lolng to try my luck with it. I might have better stayed away.... lol!
DeleteI have ethanol (ethyl alcohol), whilst the rubbing alcohol is isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol). Do you think it makes difference to the soap?
I will definitely this technique one day, it looks so beautiful! I would give the ethyl alcohol a try, you could always try it on a scrap piece of soap and see if it works. This is the trick I use for glitter and it works well, so it's worth a try with mica :)
DeleteI will try it,thanks Cee!
