用紫草浸油做皂真好
手攪三兩下就能搞定

這次的紫草浸泡油是2008年泡的(皂友幫我買的)
100元台幣而已
後來去年自己去買還差點買不到
自己上大陸去-找不到 (去到專賣中藥品的商場都沒人有賣)
請在地人找 -也找沒有
台灣也差點就找沒有
好不容易東問西問
一家青草店裡有 - 也就一咪咪 全被我包了
可那哪夠阿
經過一家中藥舖 趕緊請姐姐停車跳下去問
有 - 也就只有一瞇咪...當然-全包下了


油鹼一混合
呈現出巨峰葡萄的紫色! (好懷念巨峰葡萄)
(好像加太多了紫草浸泡油?? 因為只想要淡淡的紫...)

不死心想玩鹽皂
剩餘一咪咪的皂液當然又拿來玩!
加了10克的海鹽...
入小朵玫瑰模
好期待的紫玫瑰 結果兩朵都脫壞了 - 像是被毀容似的...
試試切開看切面
一下刀就碎了...


麋鹿的顏色還是跟雪花不同...
麋鹿的紫像是葡萄紫
雪花則像是好吃的芋頭冰


Need to practice my English writing
Starting from this POST~

Past years always don't have enough time to make "good" looking soap for the holiday gift,
Therefor this years!
Holiday soap, here I come!
I'm not good at making beautiful soap
one of reason is I'm serious hand "handicap" @@
other reason is - don't have ...time...
I'm glad I bought this mold and is very easy to get soap out
(some of my silicon mold are hard to make soap out)
So, this years holiday gift soap are set of snow soap.
This is 4Th in snow series - Snow of Purple Lavender.


This infused oil was infused from year 2008 and this is the last bottle.
The herbal was one of Taiwan Soap friend brought for me and only cost NT$100

Purple Gromwell is hard to find.
I was think Taiwan or China should easy to get like they are everywhere.
But guess what?
No.
Is not as easy as I think.
I went to China look for it last year when the business trip but just cannot find it.
Even I have the residents to look for it but no one know what's that.
I tried to buy from Taiwan is also ...hard to find!!! and only gets a little...(not as much as I expect...

Is very easy to get job done by using purple gromwell infused oil.
just mixed by hand, couple minutes, done and feels great!

Reindeer soap mold is from one of husband's relative
She gave me couple molds last year when we were in Taiwan :)

燕麥牛奶培根皂
440g Batch

Oils:
95%, 395g Becon Fat
05%, 022g Castor Oil
05%, 022g Cocoa Butter

63g NaOH
140g Bottle Water

Additives:
21g Oatmeal
10g Milk Powder

Additives for Salt soap:
60g Sea Salt
10g Purple Gromwell Infused EXV Olive Oils
09g Oatmeal kernel


最近煎培根煎出一堆豬油
天熱擺著凍不了好討厭
要做啥好呢?
大家都在做鹽皂
我也想玩玩看
但是才不敢輕易嘗試與我皮膚無緣的椰子油或棕櫚油

豬油皂
有聽說對皮膚乾呀皮膚濕疹/過敏等的皮膚有幫助?
反正剛好有油嘛
試一下好了

沉在底下的培根油渣就扔了
加點可可脂
加點篦麻油
把海鹽先泡在紫草浸泡油裡 - 希望海鹽吸了顏色
預估拿120克的油量來做鹽皂

本來想就這樣就好了
融鹼的時候想
要比較用在老大的皮膚上有啥不一樣之處
所以想想
把奶粉拿出來秤了10克
鹼水一入油後就把奶粉也加下去

燕麥片不能沒有阿
我把能篩的粉篩進去
較粗的顆粒分開來
在最後一併加進鹽皂內去磨皮用

豬油
還真沒有想像中容易trace
尤其是篩進燕麥片粉後
好像在攪啥羹湯似的稀稀的又勾勾的

畫8不消失後
倒出了336克皂液
看看鍋子裡不是剩很多
想
剩的量應該差不多120左右罷 (差滿多的結果)
加鹽囉!
發現加鹽的時機最好是等到快要變薯泥的之前的稠度
那之前加鹽入皂依舊會"沉" (還是因為鹽的量少了快一半?)

肥皂現在是兩個顏色
原色皂 與... 灰藍綠皂
等不及想看成皂的切面呀!

算了老半天
終於算清楚
鹽的比例只放了...一半不到

所以把表面切掉的時候
也沒有看見多少鹽花
拿起來大膽的麓一下手
也沒有很"刷"的感覺...

漂亮的灰藍綠不見了
丑丑的
想拿去溫水裡泡一下看看果凍後會是啥顏色


計劃中只想要一兩塊鹽花皂的
現在跑出那麼多出來
偏偏夏季還用不到
怎辦哩...

30%, 180g Palm Oil

05%, 030g Castor Oil
02%, 012g Cocoa Butter

79g NaOH
195g Water

Additives:
Ground Rosemary

Essential Oil:
12g Peppermint


本來以為跟前幾塊肥皂一樣要打一陣子
有點懶
攪沒幾下就想出動百稜算了
可百零還有昨天的番茄皂黏在上面
清的差不多了要來讓百零發威時
竟然肥皂液已經自稠啦

期待是綠色的皂
浸泡油加進去時
呈現好看的墨綠色
攪攪就...賽色出現
最近與賽真有緣!


顏色慢慢淡去
10小時後呈現淡淡的奶黃色
不行!
這不是我要的!
入鍋子去隔水小火溫它一下
看它綠不綠...

結果...果凍後的綠讓我吐血!
照片拍出來有比本尊好看些些

最後灌的麋鹿加了很多的迷迭香葉粉
感覺綠的還好看...

番茄玫瑰 花
600g Batch

43%, 258g Rose Bud infused Canola Oil
30%, 180g Palm Oil
20%, 120g Palm Kernel Oil

02%, 012g Cocoa Butter

上星期把番茄清一清
打成番茄醬後煮一煮
撈起番茄渣僅用湯來給孩子煮麵吃
番茄渣要怎用掉呢
突然想來試試看作皂 - 看會不會是紅色的...
晾乾後再打一遍
看看六顆羅馬番茄實在沒有多少
就再來打多一些番茄醬...

目前...在模子裡的肥皂是橘色的...

前幾天公司會計生日
買來的杯子蛋糕請大家吃
那裝杯子但高的盒子
竟是花的型狀
撿一個回家 (另一個來不及撿被人家扔了)
還挺好脫模的
入模10個小時
就可以輕易的撥剝盒子邊邊然後全脫的乾乾淨淨!
反而玫瑰矽膠烤模的脫不下來...@@

沒有太多番茄渣的地方還橘的蠻好看的...
可花的底部沉著很多渣哪!
就難看極了!

想要加熱看看它會不會變更紅些...
一方面太早請出箱子
有點傷風的樣子 - 有點白霜出現
遂用熱風機吹呀吹...
結果顏色好醜喲!
希望它晒晒太陽顏色會螁成淡的橘色...(拜託啦)



最後多的皂液也灌了個麋鹿

不知道未啥顏色比較淡 比較好看^^
