Hi y'all! This is my first batch of cold process soap ever!!! I have been following soapmakers for the last few years but never had the space/time/money to invest into it. I purchased this beginner's kit off the Brambleberry website and finally dove in! A couple things worth mentioning:
1- I prepared my lye water solution the night before. I have not been able to get a hold of a thermometer yet, so I let both the oils and lye sit out to reach room temperature (75°F) before I began working.
2- I forgot to add the sodium lactate to the lye water. Oops, but I know it is an optional ingredient (though highly recommended and included in the kit instructions). It will be used in my next batch :)
3- I did not film the rest of the loaf cutting, but I ended up turning it on the side so the lavender buds wouldn't drag through the sides of the bars.
Thanks for watching!
Miss Kitty
