Making Papaya Soap 2

Let's start making soap!

This is a batch for a 32 oz. Coconut Oil soap recipe. 

Punch the 32 oz. Coconut Oil on the soap calculator and you do the recipe. :) 

Make sure to do a 5% Superfat. 

Add lye to water. 

Mix 'til trace. 

Add your Papaya soap additive that you learned to make from the previous post on this blog: Making Papaya Soap.

ABOVE: Seperate batch to 2 parts and add an Orange colorant & a yellow colorant, respectively. 

ABOVE: This is how it should look like. 

(Left part wasn't really mixed well yet as i took the picture.)

This is the time you can add the fragrance oil. (When soap batch is separated into 2) adding it before coloring the batter may seize up the batch. 

*Always remember to add fragrance oils on the time you pour the batter in the mold.

Im using: Sweet Papaya FO & Pandan FO 

How to pour the soap batter in the mold:

1. Add the orange color soap batter first on the mold as the base of the soap. 

2. Then, in an S motion, add the yellow one. 

It should have a swirl effect. 

3. I left out a small portion of an uncolored soap batter from this batch and left it unscented. 

This uncolored batch will be poured the same fashion as Step #2. 

Keep in touch tomorrow to know what the soap will look like! 

Aside from the surprise soap look, we will talk about CDEA from the previous post and some possible alternatives to it. :)
