Simple Soap ☼ Patchouli & Lavender 

Michael's first bath of cold process "simple soap", featuring the liberating scent of patchouli paired with the lightly floral and soothing scent of lavender. Surprisingly easy to prepare and cure, as it should be, if you ask me.

☼ Ingredients & Materials ☼
☼ A Soap Mold {in this case a wooden one was used}
☼ Freezer Paper to line the soap mold
☼ A Variety of Measuring & Mixing Bowls
☼ Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
☼ Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
☼ Organic Ethically Harvested Palm Kernel Oil
☼ Tallow
☼ Lye
☼ Organic Essential Oils of Patchouli & Lavender 

Oils & tallow are melted together, lye added, essential oils added, then all ingredients are added to the soap mold, {which is lined with freezer paper for easy removal}, then the soap, while still in it's mold is left in a dark, cool place to cure, for at lest a months time, but in this case it was left for six months time.
