Seonaidh's Magic - Comments:0
Notes:
- Measure out water and lye
- Dissolve 1/8 teaspoon kaolin clay in water
- Pour lye into water and set aside to cool
- Measure out coconut oil, lard and shea butter into microwave safe jug
- Gently melt in microwave
- Measure liquid oils into jug
- Blend mica into oils: 1/8 tsp yellow mica, 1/16 tsp sparkly gold mica
- Mix sodium lactate into lye water
- When both are around 90 degrees add lye water to oils and blend to emulsion with milk frother
- Add fragrance and mix well with a spatula - frother makes bubbles that show in the finished soap - but keep trace light
- Pour into heart mold
- Allow to set overnight
- Make rest of Golden Heart soap the next day so embed does not harden too much before cutting
