Tips and Tricks
*Using distilled water reduces “ash” on soap during the cure. Tap water
contains sodium, iron and other impurities that can cause ash to form.
*Sometimes ash is inevitable. Don’t be alarmed.. It can be easily
removed by simply cutting off.
*Experiment with fragrance combos on a tissue first. It will save a lot
of money if your idea doesn’t smell too great in your soap. (Lesson
from experience!)
* You don’t necessarily have to buy colorants like micas and other soap
colorants. Try melting part of a crayon in a small amount of your base
oils and add at trace. Natural colorants such as cinnamon, paprika, and
cocoa powder are also excellent choices.
* Add your favorite herbs and botanicals to your soaps at trace. They
can offer beautiful, and unique coloring to soaps.
