Today we will be making the Creamy Avocado soap.
It is a cold process soap which retains the natural goodness of all the ingredients used to make it.
To make the soap you need to combine an oil mix (consists of olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and castor oil) with lye flakes, distilled water, mashed avocado and melon jasmine fragrance oil. we also added chromium green and red iron oxide mica to bring distinct color to your soap.
The oil mix consists of olive, castor, palm and coconut oil. Each of this oils bring a wide array of benefits to your skin. Through the cold process, all the benefits from the coconut oil are maintained.
The oil mix are great moisturizers which nourish and keep the skin healthy and revitalized. Lye flakes keep the skin moisturized during the bath.
The mashed avocado moisturizes and hydrates the skin, and brings out a radiant glow. Finally, the melon jasmine fragrance oil gives the soap a nice twist of fruity and floral aroma.
