Geranium Rose and Cranberry Luxury Soap Recipe

Yields 2.75 pounds

Ingredients:

• 6 oz. Distilled Water
• 6 oz. Aloe Vera Liquid
• 2 oz. Caster Oil
• 4 oz. Cocoa Butter
• 4 oz. Coconut Oil
• 12 oz. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 5 oz. Palm Oil
• 5 oz. Palm Kernel Flakes
• 4.4 oz. Lye
• 1.5 oz. Geranium Rose Essential Oil
• 0.5 oz. Cranberry Seeds
• 1/4 tsp. Burgundy Oxide

Recipe Directions:

1. Make your lye solution, weigh out your melted oils and combine both when temperatures are at around 100 degrees F.  Add the Geranium Rose essential oil to the entire batch.
2. Separate about half of the batch into a smaller container for the bottom layer.  Add cranberry seeds at this point.  Pour this layer at a very thick trace.
3. In another small container, separate out 1/4 of the rest of the batch.  Add burgundy pigment.  Pour this layer at a medium to thick trace.
4. Pour the rest of the uncolored soap on last.  As the top layer sets up, use a whisk to sculpt peaks (if desired).  The cut bars are beautiful, mild and luxurious as is or you can stamp the face of each bar for an added touch.
