I saw this soap and thought it was just amazing! The swirls were so colorful from the light clear orange to the white to the ultra coppery tones!  Then it is scented with a mix of cardamom and cedar with a little bit of cinnamon!  This soap is made with sorbitol, sodium cocoate, propylene glycol, sodium stearate, glycerin, butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) seed butter, titanium dioxide, water, Cardamom and Cedar fragrance oil, perfect orange color block, pumpkin powder, ultrasparkle copper mica and LOTS OF LOVE!  Each bar is hermetically sealed and weighs approximately 3.7 ounces

All of my MELT and POUR soaps are being sold through SHOP JOBIE and their link is shopjobie.com

I love to learn different techniques for making soap whether it is melt and pour, cold process or hot process soap.  The method of making soap dough for embeds (which uses a basic cold process recipe but more hands on with smooshing the soap and yes that is how they describe it) and keeping it well wrapped so it does not dry out.  The dough can be formed into components using small molds or large molds and even an extruder to form the soap dough into shapes such as I have used for this hand soap (tiny bats). I have made 2 batches of this soap.  On the first one, the bats were in a row at the bottom of the soap and the other batch the bats decided to move around the soap bar.  I love both styles and cannot take credit for the formation in either soap!

The bat embeds in this soap bar through each soap bar, not placed on top!

The soap batch is made of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, lye, distilled water, Pumpkin Cardamom fragrance oil, pumpkin puree, copper sparkle mica, red Moroccan clay, pineapple mica, bat embeds required premade soap dough with black mica colorant and lots of love!

Estimated weight of each bar of soap is 4.4 ounces.  

I have already quite a few of these and have had great reviews and tons of smiles when the bats are seen in the soap!

This is another adventure with soap dough and embeds.  I pictured a dark blue night sky as the back drop with 3 tiny white stars in the sky.  In the center is a big orange pumpkin with 2 shades of green for the stem.  The embeds are premade with soap dough which is made from soap batter and then colored and placed in an air tight container for a few days and then manipulated by introducing heat into the dough which loosens up and becomes malleable to shape.  I was lucky to have a pumpkin mold to premake the pumpkin and then add a formed stem on the top as well as to extrude the 3 white stars.  Both of these embeds go the entire length of the soap loaf and the design is present in most stages of use (there may be a delay for the stars on one side as the embeds sometimes shift but it should appear soon after using the bar.  

The ingredients for this soap are:  Olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, distilled water, lye, Cardamom Pumpkin fragrance oil; Orange, white, and 2 green micas for coloring.  Each bar is made with lots of love.

Estimated weight of each soap bar is 4.8 ounces.
