Q10蠶絲金盞羊乳馬賽

Oils:
72%, 504g Marigold Infused EV Olive Oil
18%, 126g Cocoa Butter
10%, 70g Red Palm Oil

Lye Solution
86g NaOH
340g Goat Milk
20g Carrot Juice

Essential Oil
14g Palmarosa
7g Jasmin

Perfume
oscar de la renta


This batch is the costly soap I ever made – Can goat milk, 200mg Q10 capsule x20…
Wow~ (is this soap going to make my old skins young and glowing?) ha!

Long ago I have did one batch Q10 soap but did not put much Q10 Capsule
By the time I’m using the soap, the color faded and make me wondering is the soap gone bad or it just the - color? That color stops me adding Q10 to soap…
Until one day one commercial of DHC Q10 soap make me feel “I want to have one!”
I make one batch for my sister first. That nice mango yellow color just gives me confidence again!
here is mine!


成本很高的ㄧ款皂
大概這是我目前為止放最多"$"在成分上的皂了

很久以前就做過Q10肥皂
可那時沒有放很多
作出來的皂後來要黃不黃的
那感覺不知道是要壞了發黃呢
還是本身的顏色
所以後來很感冒不在有興趣做了

前不久DHC在推它家的Q10肥皂
看得我心癢
又升起我的火
自己來作!
上次先作給我姊這幾天乾的差不多啦
昨天包起來
嗯! 黃得很美麗!

這幾天又看到很多人作黃澄澄的芒果皂
剛好家裡也買了成山成堆的芒果在吃著
心理想著我的Q10皂還沒開工哪!

盤算著要加蠶絲要把存了好久的羊奶用在自己身上
要下很高比例的Q10...
要來高比例可可脂的冬皂

蠶繭用了兩個大的
先拉成絲棉 再剪碎碎去溶鹼
羊奶用的是罐頭 - $3.75美金 一罐哩!(真作不起羊奶皂)
Q10 - 上次開了一罐100mg作姊姊那塊Q10皂 (11美金一罐)
還有20粒剩的要自用 結果不知怎的老找不到...
又不想花很多時間擠一堆只有30mg的
所以...
只好對自己慷慨一點
打開26美金的那罐...(200mg) 並且大手筆的擠20顆 :) (13美金哪!)
不知道陳年老皮在這肥皂的加持下
會不會老的慢一點 哈哈!








金盞浸泡油
750ml的油泡的很濃的喔!
只倒出了510克的油


很努力的全程手攪
不知道昨晚發啥神經 突然想要來快有花香的皂
所以看好要把那n久茉莉精油來入皂
同時也想把那N久的香水來入皂
這是以前為自己作皂時從來不會發生過的念頭...

香水一般都是有很重的酒精
所以沒人用香水入皂的
但是我就是發神經了!
這是馬賽皂
我在最後要入模之前才隨手亂加
可能放很久的原因
酒精都揮發的差不多了還是怎樣
並沒有薯泥的狀況發生
皂液依舊秉持著攪到地老天荒才會稠的馬賽皂精神/速度進行皂化
真妙!

顏色沒有計畫中的黃澄澄...哭阿!
都怪羊奶啦級當天氣溫小熱拉

02%, 14g Unrefined Shea Butter

Lye solutions:
222g Water
86g NaOH
1 Avocado puree

Essential Oils:
19g Peppermint Oil

Additives:
Cocoa Powder

This batch is special for & my brother in law.
This batch not only with 10% of avocado oils and also do add one avocado in to it!
I use folk to smash avocado into avocado puree and put them in freezer. When I need them I just shave avocado icy into lye solutions…
Not sure why avocado not so expensive this year. I ate lots and lots, happy!
Hope avocado oil price will also go down a little later this year ^^

60% of soft oils infused with all kind of herbals.
I put lots and lots of mint into infused oils for to get the colors.
Houttuynia is really good herbal hope add this infused oil can help skin a little. ( you know this is just soap even is infused with lots of good thing...)
Green tea - originally is for color but don't know why it did not show...
Lavender, I love lavender! Not only for the aromatic also lavender help relaxation and serenity^^


今年真是吃飽了酪梨且還捨得拿來做真正的酪梨藥皂!
不知道過一陣子是否酪梨油會否降價 ^^
這是針對姐夫作的 (當然 姐姐也能用呵!)
址希望準備的這些肥皂們能全塞進姐的行李帶回家~

Fashion bug的問題依舊沒解決
也因此結束與新東家的蜜月期
再這樣陪他玩下去遲早連命都玩上!
實在是! 這五個月來哪天不是日夜的幫他趕死趕活的
週末的日子也不得好好的顧一下家
總以為這樣的日子是暫時的
不行! 是時候停止我無止盡的付出了!

這次的肥皂覺得沒有打得很稠很稠
(雖然畫8不會消失但是不知為啥覺得手感沒那麼厚重感)
很奇怪
鹼水一入油後也是跟蠶絲金盞皂有類似的狀況
鹼水倒入油中的那一團特稠
好像就要秒殺了一般 心裡在大叫
哀! 紙模還沒折耶! 忘了米糠的威力了!
還好! 努力攪攪又沒那麼稠了
趕緊折紙模 – 邊摺邊攪 還好!還好!
這次因為覺得好像攪的不夠稠
外加天有些冷
所以乖乖的入保利龍箱子
入模約20小時候去偷看
嘿! 表面有硬度喔! 肥皂有成型喔!開心開心!

切開後!
濃濃的薄荷巧克力味道!
可是!
可可粉可能太厚了
會分...家...

Long time Ago did soap with Q10 but did not really like it because the color it slightly yellow makes me feel like is the soap gone bad???

Last month DHC's catalogs are pushing their Q10 product. When I see the pictures of Q10 soap, I feel like I want one!

I was planning to make Marigold soap, good match for the color with adding Q10!


Really, really feel tired recently and thinking should I keep up with this company.
Other than lots of work, one account under my workload had been having fitting issue and commutation problem with me.
(I'm working at fashion industry as a tech designer and I'm doing private label for my current company)
Most of customer more or less will have some trouble but most of time problem can be solve without making a big issue.
But this account!
I really wondering if she knows what she doing???
I just never saw a tech designer work like her...
The comment from her just say x factor, s curve... (I never hear any one says that and don't think by just saying that the fit problem will go away!)
At lease you need to find out/show me where the problem causes the x factor, S curve, so we can do our job right, right?
She really more likes pattern maker, she want to give pattern corrections but keeps complaints that takes away lots of her working time.
She asks us to follow her pattern exactly and we did. But she says is worth because the grain line is off!
come on!
She asks me to her office see the fitting and I did.
But the appointment she gave me is the date without model and only shows me on mannequin! Oh! My lord! I fly from LA to Philly to watch a mannequin???




本來想玩渲染
無奈金盞幾乎是秒殺
等紫草的部份作好
金盞已經凍未調囉
只好老樣子 分層







心情小記
作這皂時星期六 3/17

死account fashion bug 搞不定
得再飛一次
這次飛紐約直接看褲子在麻豆身上到底是怎樣
還下了保證給老闆
保證看了麻豆這款絕對可以馬上把這版子改到perfect直接生產大貨而不用等客人的意見
這樣的目的不但能要保住船運交期而不必空運甚且要能保住這客人
可是...
我心底的把握沒有百分百呀
那個死俄羅斯人又那麼難搞
再加上一向說的超準的唐立淇星座運程在三月下旬是這樣說的
"职场上的某些隐形风暴可能会厄运成真,例如,怕什么事情露馅还真露馅,计划会被延宕,而让白羊头疼,以为计划已展开了,却被迫收回。这段时期白羊会表现逞强的一面,想要自己一肩扛起责任,但是,有些事不是一个人能解决的,所以这种逞强会造成日后的麻烦"
這...這可不是正在說我下星期及之後這批貨與我的命運掛勾的處境嘛!


3/19
想來想去
覺得就算是那短褲沒有太大的問題也還是會被人家挾怨報復打槍
想了想
就算不是我的錯也寫個卡片加個星巴克咖啡卡去低個頭道個歉讓人家心裡舒服些算了

3/20
晚上9點的飛機飛紐約 老公卻幫我訂了6點的車!趕死我呀!
趕的結果是我竟在上車後才發現電腦還在公司裡!!!
該死的! 我千託萬拜的求來接我的司機繞一下路載我去拿電腦...
(付了比車資還貴的小費換來要求的實現...)
AA的飛機真是爛阿
機翼上拼拼補補的...
機師的技術那麼爛
座位超級小又超級不舒服不說
旁邊坐了尺寸很"滿"的中年男人
這六個小時裡我真是一動就碰到他的肩脖
不斷的亂流每每讓我在睡中驚嚇的只覺的飛機要散掉解體了 (沒辦法那麼多的拼補!!!挺駭人的)

3/21
這麻豆還真...滿!
改了幾遍的褲子穿在她身上 好像完全沒改過一樣... (死定囉)

廚用皂

Oils:
60%, 1200g Coconut Oil
17%, 335g Grapeseed Oil
17%, 345g Lard
06%, 120g Food Grade Prim Pressed Cocoa Butter
Tiny bit Pine Resin

Lye Solution
780g water
302g NaOH

Essential Oils:
Clove leaves
Lemongrass
Grapefruit

Additives:
200+ drops Vitamin E Oil
Cocoa Powder
Madder Rooter Powder


Nothing is special.
Just run out white soaps that for kitchen/dishes uses...
Would like to have little different looks to boring soaps to bring a bit good mood to whomever do the dishes…
Keeping one original wish to have white chocolate look
Adding sifted cocoa powder to have Marble look for 2nd one.
And use leftover to play with madder rooter powder for coloring test...
(I know, I know...the mold I uses for madder root powder color testing it just doesn't make sense @@)
(Just found out "Ombre Layering" actually is not that hard to make !!!Fun,fun,fun!!!

(32 hours later)

I just can't wait to get off work!
First thing I got home is just get soaps out and cut it!

"Pink Pine" was the first to taste the knife - is not as good as I expert but I'm happy with it!


Marble are the next.
Wow! I love it! The "accident" I did it turn the soap with great look! (Impress me ^ ^) I was going to trim it off and hide it but it just perfectly matches the color with chocolate look! (happy!)

Compare to “marble”, “white chocolate” just don’t really feel anything special, and don’t really have chocolate feel@@
(Plan to have another batch with “marble” look…)



上個星期五收到油就想作的皂
卻因為想省汽油 沒有特別去婆家把油拿回來
(汽油最近天天飆漲)
等到星期日晚上拿回來也沒有動力開鍋了

今天動手
白色的廚用皂用的光光的
先來2000克應急
想給姐備下兩條
多一下來的一點可以拿去婆家洗抹布用
(作的當天是星期日 晚上去婆家的時候婆竟主動跟我要肥皂)
(白色廚用皂斷糧好一陣子囉)


加可可脂
是除了硬度外還看重她的不易讓皂體遇水易軟/溶的特性
本來想來10啪
後來覺得好浪費
變成6啪 先試試看

(本來很想用牛脂的)

豬脂的氣味好重!
拿精油來亂加 只為了要蓋過油味
換東家後真的忙到天昏地黑
下次在開鍋不知啥時
雖然很多想作的
但是動力...

所以趁今天亂玩
來一條白巧克力
再來一條大理石
順便把想玩的漸層/想試的茜草根粉
一起作會來試一下囉
(玩漸層是因為看到多倫多的Maggie的漸層皂 點了教學連結後)
(發現原來調色是先來最深色! 再慢慢加進原色皂液讓顏色漸漸淡出… 真是顛覆了我的想法!)

茜草根粉一直想試試看她的粉紅色可以到多粉紅...
只是臨時拿的模子跟粉紅色一點也沒關係...

(32小時之後)
迫不及待的回到家來切皂
先切粉紅松
當然不及高手的成果
不過我已經很開心

再來切大理石
第一片其實只是想把不小心的意外給片掉
可是那顏色! 好愛好愛呀!
白巧克力那條
反而沒啥感覺@@

21%, 340g Canola Oil (Rose bud & Madder Root Powder Infused)
18%, 300g Palm Kernel Oil
10%, 160g Canola Oil (Purple Cromwell Root Infused)
10%, 170g Unrefined Shea Butter

206g NaOH
3pcs Silkworm cocoon

Essential Oils:
30g Palmarosa
20g Rose

Addeditive:
Madder Root Powder


First batch of 2012.
This is special for my sister Alice –luxury Silk Rose essential oil soap, total 3% essential oil, no fragrance oil this time.
Rose bud infused oil just no color and not much scent but I want to have romantic pink color!
I add madder root powder to infuse – the sad thing is I only got 340g after all….
What can I do whit it? (Crying…)
I copy Bebe’s soap – she did one soap with 50% Macadamia nut oil with add little bit purple gromwell, and she got pink soap!!!
But guess the 10% of infused oil just too much! I got purple rose! (Oh well!)



2012年的第一皂~
這次給姐的玫瑰皂全下精油 而且3%
沒有放香精
很期待

把泡了N久卻始終無色的玫瑰花苞浸泡油加茜草根粉去泡
來做皂
確沒想到瀝出來的油結果竟然只剩340克@@ (那能幹麻呀!)
參照BEBE的一款皂的做法 用高比例澳湖油加些紫草根浸泡油
希望帶出粉紅色

把澳洲胡桃油給全用了
紫草浸泡油不知該用多少
來10啪吧
(結果看來是太多囉! 變紫玫瑰嚕!)

去年買的蠶繭全去煮水脫膠
拿那水來溶鹼
脫膠後的蠶繭較好拉絲
所以先拉絲再來剪碎
之後放鹼粉埋沒蠶繭
再來把水放進去
(先放煮蠶繭的水 攪勻- 這次絲棉一下就不再"藕斷絲連"嚕)
然後再放足水量

雖然只是10啪的紫草浸泡油
但是那是2008年...的
所...以...
三攪兩攪 很快就TRACE!
心中慶幸還好紙模已經折好放在木模裡準備好了

本來還如果TRACE慢就可以酌量的加些茜草根粉來玩漸層...
順便實驗茜草根粉的顯色
下次再說嚕

表面當然不漂亮 這次就拿叉子來括線條就算了


書籤
蚕丝和真丝绸的常用精练方法
蚕丝蛋白


章蓋的一塌糊塗 照片也很差強人意@@


2/11/2012
本來不覺得有啥香的肥皂
在肥皂晾得差不多有些乾時香味就漸漸散出來~
雖然不是每次經過晾皂間的時候都會聞到香味
但是偶爾濕度較高的日子裡會傳來淡淡的香味!
