DAILY BATH SOAP

I like this blue pattern!
My partner loves soaps using in the shower and he uses more than 2 soaps a month. Since I make soaps, I do not want to buy commercial soaps any more. I made cheaper soap for him because he uses a lot of them (and does not care so much about quality!) I used Grapeseed Oil and Canola Oil for base, Beeswax and Palm Oil for hardness.

After poured into mold, I did not keep the soap warm enough to complete saponification. After 24 hours, the soap was still wet and soft but my partner wanted to touch and cut soap, this soap was for him so I let him. It was cut alright but definitely not alright as a soap! I was not sure what to do but only one thing I could think of was cook soap in the oven. About 70 to 80 ℃ for 15 mins, turned off and left soaps in the oven a hour more.





Sweating a lot!!
During this cooking time, some soaps went gel phase. Some got softer and change its shape. When I open the oven, I just started laughing because all the soaps were so sweat!! It looked very funny for me.















It was about 12 or 13??
 I touched the sweat and I felt greasy or slippy on my fingers. I thought it might be high in alkaline so I tested. Yes, it was. I lost my finger print a bit but not burned at all.



After cure a couple of weeks, the soaps are getting pretty good. I made wave in the soap and I am very happy how it turns out!
