Mangosteen soap with Eucalyptus essential oil

After a lot of research about how to make Mangosteen soap in various web site. I could not learn any thing much apart from their very nice soap picture. It's a light Purple colour or swirls soap.

Mangosteen have a lot of benefits in health and skin. It's been used to treat skin disorders, fight infection, ... and a very powerful antioxidant.

Excited enough, today I decided to make my very first own Mangosteen soap.

All right, let's do it.
Start with peel off the skin and then take the soft Purple meat to use in soap.

I'm using sieve to milled the fibres.
One thing you may noticed is the colour of the Mangosteen fibres, it's not Purple isn't it ?
I don't understand too.

Infact, it's a brown colour and i'm using fresh fibres. I added the fibres in to the light traced soap then keep mixed thoroughly. I stirred to trace for 10 minutes then poured into mold for set.

I'm abit disappointed with the colour, I thought it will be at least light Purple or Pink.
Turn out, it's more like a green colour with some dark spots.

These pictures are all before curing time. Will se how it will be after curing time. The pH changes may changes the colour, i hope.

Have anyone have any experiences with this soap ? Please leaves your comment.
I'm eager to learn some info from you all. BIG BIG THANKS.
Await to hear from you.

EucaMatcha

It's almost that i'm obsessed with Matcha green tea and hasn't get over it yet.
I have done yet another Matcha green tea recipe with Eucalyptus essential oil.

I hope after curing time, the green tea colour will become a bit brighter.
Love it already.

New soaps

It has been a long time since i made the last soaps.
I have been playing around for new soaps and preparing for a Soap making course. I must say, if you are not practising every day, you can not make a good looking product when you are restart.
Here after are all my soaps from the 1st batch of restart to the 4th batch.

Palm oil, Rice Bran oil, Coconut oil, Lavender EO, Basil EO,
Blue, Red, Green food colouring.

Palm oil, Rice Bran oil, Coconut oil, Sweet Orange EO, Basil EO,
Green food colouring.

Palm oil, Rice Bran oil, Coconut oil, Lemongrass EO, Clove EO,
Blue food colouring.
My Blue food colouring turn out to be like Purple.

Obviously, you can see the 4th batch look much better swirls than all the batches before.

Well, as people says: PRACTISING MAKE PERFECT.
Will keep practising.

My first swirl soap ever

To day I make my very first swirl soap ever.

I have been prepared the ingredients for 2 days; study the ways of how to do the swirl….

9.15 am start mixing the oil with lie, stirred it up for trace and then try to mix….

I expect to have a nice swirl soap, but thing does not turn out as expect.

It turns out like “chocolate & vanilla ice-cream” which we ( me and my partner )love to have for desert after dinner.

Still good enough, I thought for myself, for the first try.

Will going to make anther one tomorrow.

Keep watching!

And importance, my “chocolate & vanilla ice-cream” will be available in market by the end of the month.
