So I've been pondering, and eyeing the cream soap realm, and putting off making it, because it is not an area where I have much knowledge on. I started researching more on in recently and decided that it was about time to try it. I've been desiring to turn my facial bars into cream soaps, for easier use. I love my banana facial bar, and I have several customers that enjoy it as well. It really moisturises and cleanses the skin without drying it out. Anyway... So I found a recipe online to try out from a member of the cream soap forum.
So... I started my journey... Here are pictures of my journey thus far.
 |
This was the start of my journey, after
the soap traced and my cook time was
to begin
|
 |
This is 2 hours into the cook time, I've added my
supercream and am about to stir!
Boy is it stiff at this stage. |
 |
Cream soap after 24 hrs of resting.
Added paraben free preservative and water and aloe juice.
Let's see if this works
|
 |
Ok after about 5-10 min mixing. I need a stand mixer
for this my poor arms.
|
 |
Ok like 20-30 min of mixing. I'm stopping here wishing
I had a stand mixer and refusing to give up my kitchenAide.
I will let it rest another day and whip some more tomorrow.
It's so tempting to lick the spoon but I know it's not food.
Consistency is like whipped cold cream cheese.
Not sure if that's right but I know it needs to rot for like a month.
I'll try and start up a blog and will continue this story there.
Bought another crock pot today. Was going to go to
thrift store but Walmart had it for like $15 which is
the same I saw at thrift store. |
 |
Ok whipped for like 10 min after another
24 hrs. Much softer today.
More like a thick frosting. Now I shall let it "rot" for
4 weeks. See u then. |
Ok So that was my journey so far... I will post up pics when the 4 weeks has past and I colour and scent the soap. I've been keeping an eye on it since I made this soap a week ago and it is softening quite nicely and it is even glistening. I really hope this works out nicely because I am developing my banana facial bar into a cream soap recipe so I can try it out when this cream soap is ready!
I hope you enjoy my blog posts and will subscribe and continue to follow me. I hope to be updating at least once per week.
Happy Soaping guys
