Natures Touch and Natures Garden
I have been drooling over Natures Garden Soap and Candle for the longest time. I'm in Canada they are US so shipping was out of the world until Grand Portage opened up a parcel pick up. A 45 minute drive from Thunder Bay. Finally I can order from my favorites now and save on shipping and take the fun drive across the border I can gamble at the casino there too but I don't as I stay away from the slots. Long story short. I ordered a whack of stuff and made my first batches of soap with NaturesGarden ingredients! And.....love! First one is Wild Cherry Bomb. Love the scent. Easy recipe olive, coconut, castor 10oz, 10oz, 7 oz. Lye and water use Soapcalc ok for the percentages. This makes the perfect amount for a large milk carton. Love using them. Then I just pour in my fragrance. You can add your fragrance anytime. Roughly 2 oz. Lab colours ultra violet purple, pink, and just the soap. Divide batch into three, mix your colours into each and mix. This recipe gives you time to work. Don't over mix just to light trace. Put in squirt bottles and pour. Alternating colours. I did plain, light pink, purple and the squirt bottles give a fine pour. I had more of left over purple and just spooned it on top and skewered it around to finish the top. Smells fantastic! Workable recipe, set up nice. My trick is to let everything go to room temperature then work no taking temperatures anymore.
