甜杏仁可可皂 Sweet Almond Oil and Cocoa Butter

以茉莉花浸泡甜杏仁油為主，加上可可脂和椰子油，做出來的皂色非常純白討喜。這次想加入一些粉紅礦泥粉添增些浪漫的感覺。

With jasmine infused sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and coconut oil, the finished soap has a beautiful white color. I'd like to add some romantic touch in this soap with French pink clay.

The soap batter had been over traced.

The swirl is not as pretty as what I expected.

Sweet Almond Oil Soap 甜杏仁可可皂

Since my last sweet almond oil soap has some cracks at the edges, I think I can try another batch to make it right. I added some green and yellow clays in the soap batter, and used clothes hanger to make some swirl pattern. This time, the sweet almond oil is just sweet almond oil, nothing infused.

甜杏仁可可皂 Jasmine Infused Sweet Almond Oil Soap

Since my last marseille inspired soap was so charming, I decided to make another batch with sweet almond oil. I have a jar of jasmine infused sweet almond oil for over a month, which I used, and along with cocoa butter and coconut oil. I am quite surprised with the pure white color at the end. Really love it!

I was too eager to unmold the soap,
which made it has some cracks at the edge.

72% 橄欖皂 Marseille Inspired Soap

This high quality organic olive oil was imported from Italy by a friend. I  bought half dozen and has tried cooking with it. It has a very fresh smell of olive, which I quite like it. I am thinking of what would make the difference if I use this olive oil and the coconut oil that I am using for cooking as well, also combined with some cocoa butter. The result is quite satisfying!

The jelly effect looks gorgeous!

The texture looks great!

Just untold
