#2/3 Savage laurel soap's recipe


This is SAVAGE LAUREL 



Recipe:
Olive oil (pomace) 40%
Coconut oil 25%
Palm oil (organic) 20%
Bay laurel berry oil 11%

Note that the palm oil I buy from The Soap Kitchen 
'carries Organic Certification and comes from Columbia. It is not produced on land that has been taken from the Rain Forests, nor are there any Orangutangs made homeless. Our suppliers do use 'ethical' methods in their production (we have actually visited the site). Our Columbian suppliers are members of the RSPO (Round Table for Sustainable Production of PalmOil).'

Bay laurel berry oil is from Aroma Zone

Scent: naturally coming from the bay laurel berry oil





Colours: 1) arctic pearl metallic mica 2) silver grey metallic mica 

All micas are from The Soap Kitchen


2 days in the mould + 1 day as whole bar outside the mould before cutting!

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
