Step 1: Weigh out and melt 150 grams of Diamond Clear M&P Soap Base. Do
this in the microwave in 30 second increments. Stir gently in between until all the soap is melted. Once your soap is ready, add the fun soap
colorants ultramarine violet and black oxide.
Stir well.
Step
2: Next, add 6 grams of Blackberry Sage fragrance oil; stir well to incorporate.
Next, pour all
of the soap into your blackberries
mold. If you have any air bubbles in
your soap, spritz the soap with
alcohol. Then, set aside. Allow the soap to set up at room temperature.
Step
3: On a flat work space, lay out a piece of wax paper. Then, once again weigh out and melt 100 grams
of Diamond Clear M&P Soap Base in the microwave. This time add 5 drops fun soap colorant kelly green and stir.
Step

stir. Then, pour the green soap in the

Cold Process Soap Ingredients:
517 grams of WaterCold
Process Soap Colorants:
18 grams of Fun Soap
Colorant Ultramarine Violet
2 grams of Fun Soap Colorant Black Oxide
15 grams of Fun Soap Colorant Kelly Green
4 grams of Titanium Dioxide (for the whipped topping)
15 grams of Titanium Dioxide (for the white soap portion)
Step 1: Prep your work area
and put on your safety gear.
Step
2: Now, make your lye solution.
Then, weigh out and melt
the soaping ingredients. Once melted, separate out 15 grams and place it in one of your mixing bowls. Then, add the 4 grams of titanium dioxide to this and
stir well to make a white paste. This will be
for the whipped topping. To a separate
bowl, weigh out 45 grams of soaping oils.
To this add the 15 grams of Titanium Dioxide and make a paste. This will be for the white soap portion.
Step 3:
When the lye solution has
cooled, stir in the sodium lactate.
Step
4: While you are waiting on temperatures, in one of your
mixing bowls weigh out your ultramarine violet and black oxide soap
colorant. To another mixing bowl, weigh
out your kelly green colorant. Set both bowls aside.
Also, remove your blackberries from the mold and trim off any excess
soap. Remove the flat green layer of
M&P soap from the wax paper. Then,
using a knife, cut out several leaf shapes.
Set aside.
Step 5: When both the soaping oils and the lye solution are ready to be combined, do so. Then, stick blend for emulsion. Next, add the vanilla white color stabilizer and fragrance oil. Then, stick blend to incorporate.
Step
6: Now, get your 2 mixing bowls with the colorant. To each bowl, add 420 grams of soap batter. Stir each bowl with a spoon to incorporate
the color. Then, set aside. Finally, to the bowl that contains the
smaller amount of titanium dioxide paste, add 227 grams of soap batter. Stir this well to incorporate. Then, set aside.
Step 7: To the remaining soap batter bowl, add the larger amount of
titanium dioxide paste and stick blend in well.
Step
8: Next, quickly stick blend the ultramarine violet/ black
soap. Then, starting with the purple soap batter drop
several "plops" in a clockwise
manner in the white soap batter
bowl. Do this until all of the purple batter is gone. Then, repeat the same action with the green batter, aiming for
different areas in the "clock ".
Step
9: Now, drag the spatula in one large circular pattern once through the bowl. When you are done,
directly pick up the spatula.
Step
10: Next, moving
slowly pour the soap batter
into the mold. While pouring, carefully move the soap batter back and forth the whole length of the
mold. When the soap has set up enough, take the mixing bowl
set aside for the whipped topping, and carefully heap it on top of the
soap.
Step
11: When your whipped topping is in place, position several
blackberries and leaves onto the top.
Step
12: After 48 hours, place the soap into the freezer for about 4 hours. Then, remove the soap and let it reach room
temperature. Then, carefully remove the soap from the
mold. When ready cut the soap slices. Allow them to further cure before using.
