Instructions for Preparation:
- Safety First: Wear appropriate safety gear (gloves, eye protection, long sleeves) when handling lye. Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Prepare Lye Solution (Phase B): Carefully measure distilled water into a heat-resistant container. Slowly and gradually add sodium hydroxide (lye) to the water, stirring gently until fully dissolved. The mixture will heat up. Set aside to cool to around 40-50°C (104-122°F).
- Prepare Oils (Phase A): In a separate heat-resistant container, weigh and combine all solid oils (Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Shea Butter). Gently melt them over low heat or in a microwave. Once melted, add liquid oils (Olive Oil, Castor Oil). Allow the oils to cool to around 40-50°C (104-122°F).
- Combine Lye and Oils: Once both the lye solution and oils are within the desired temperature range and relatively close to each other (e.g., within 5-10°C), slowly pour the lye solution into the oils.
- Achieve Trace: Using an immersion blender (stick blender), begin to blend the mixture. Blend for short bursts, alternating with hand stirring, until the mixture thickens to "trace" (when a dropped amount of soap leaves a visible mark on the surface before sinking back in).
- Add Fragrance Oil (Phase C): At light to medium trace, add the "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil. Stir thoroughly by hand or with short bursts of the immersion blender to ensure even distribution. Note the fragrance oil's inherent ability to impart a light beige color to the soap.
- Pour into Mold: Pour the traced soap mixture into your prepared soap mold.
- Insulate (Optional): Cover the mold with a lid or plastic wrap and insulate with a towel or blanket to encourage gel phase (a temporary darker, translucent appearance during curing).
- Cure: Let the soap stay in the mold for 24-48 hours before unmolding and cutting into bars. Allow the cut soap bars to cure in a well-ventilated area for 4-6 weeks. This process allows excess water to evaporate, making the soap harder, milder, and longer-lasting.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
- Fragrance Load: For cold process soap, a 1-2% fragrance load of "Cherry Lips" Fragrance Oil (based on the total batch weight) is typically sufficient to achieve a noticeable and lasting scent. You can experiment within this range based on your desired intensity.
- Temperature Control: While this fragrance oil is known not to accelerate trace, always aim to combine your lye solution and oils at the recommended temperatures (40-50°C) for optimal saponification and pour consistency.
- Curing Time: The long curing time for cold process soap (4-6 weeks) is essential. It allows the soap to fully harden and for the fragrance to mellow and develop properly.
- Color Expectation: Be aware that "Cherry Lips" will impart a light beige color to your cold process soap. If you desire a different color, you can add soap-safe colorants along with the fragrance oil, but this will influence the final shade.
- Storage: Store the finished cold process soap bars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store the fragrance oil tightly sealed in a cool, dark place.
- Batch Testing: As with any new fragrance oil in cold process soap, a small test batch is always recommended to confirm performance and final scent throw before committing to a large batch.
