Colored and Swirled Soap

Making cold process soap is a combination of art and science.

Making swirled soap is particularly tricky. It’s quite a skill to get the colors to swirl in together and still keep them distinct. Every swirled bar is different–not only different from soapmaker to soapmaker, but different from batch to batch and every bar within a batch will be unique.
