In this throwback Thursday episode of Soap Queen TV, I’m joined by Christy from KB Shimmer to create a brightly-colored in-the-pot swirl cold process project. This stunning technique produces beautiful results, and every bar looks unique. Made with vibrant LabColors and scented with Energy Fragrance Oil, this soap screams of a tropical vacation!
A more advanced technique, I recommend watching the Basics of Cold Process Soapmaking series before attempting this project. In particular, be sure to review lye safety guidelines; when working with sodium hydroxide lye goggles, long sleeves and gloves are a must! Once you’ve got a few batches under your belt, an in-the-pot swirl is a great swirl technique before moving on to trickier swirls, like the Infinity Swirl, or the Classic Swirl.
