#2/3 Savage laurel soap's recipe


This is SAVAGE LAUREL 



Recipe:
Olive oil (pomace) 40%
Coconut oil 25%
Palm oil (organic) 20%

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!

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).
