indigo soap
Indigo herb comes from India and is fermented in water to release the indigo powder. This is a very old traditional process and is still happening the same. True indigo powder can be hard to find because the market has been flooded with cheap artificial indigo colorants. The real stuff can be a bit expensive. If you can't find real indigo, you can use cocoa powder, paprika or even ground cinnamon in place of indigo powder. The color will obviously be different, but you will still get a wonderful cold process soap. I don't recommend you use chili pepper or cayenne for a color. The spicy heat can cause irritation. We will also be using gold mineral mica in this soap. You can use ground ginger if you like.

Rosemary Mint Soap
For this soap we use Quebracho which comes from a native tree in South America. You can substitute this for Cocoa or Paprika (or a blend of the two to make a dark orange). We will also be adding Myrobalan which are ground nuts from a native tree in Nepal. You can also use turmeric for this color. For this recipe we will be adding essential oil for scent. Rosemary and Peppermint are two essential oils that survive the saponification process. Another is Lavender.

Cold Process Wine or Beer Soap
This process can be used with both wine or beer. It's challenging to make a soap with alcohol as the liquid since the soap batch will want to seize when it is introduced to the alcohol. Because of this, you are going to add the wine or beer at the very end, right before the color is added.

goat's milk or vegan milk soap
This process allows you to create a rich sothing healing soap. You need patience and time to make this one because if you try to speed up the process you will get a burned, ammonia scented batch that you will be very unhappy with. I have replace all of the water in this recipe with organic whole fat goat's milk.

lime soap
Citrus Essential Oils tend to cook out of Cold Process Soap, but they are a perfect choice for hot process soap making because by the time you add the citrus oil (in our case Lime Essential Oil), the soap will have already gone through the saponification process (when oil, water and alkali turn into soap). For the color of this soap, I will be using powdered Lime Leaves.

cream soap making
Cream soap can be really fussy to make. You need to balance the Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide with the oil and the water to give you the right consitency. This is a quicker and easier way to make cream soap. Plus you get to use those soap scraps that keep piling up. I hope you experiment with this soap and try different herbal infusions instead of water. If you want a stiffer soap than the one in the video, reduce the amount of water in the recipe. A pretty stiff soap would need about ½ the amount of water that is in the recipe. Do not increase or decrease the Stearic Acid amount. Only change the water amount.

lime lip balm
The next lip balm is one of my favorites. It smells great and is all natural. You can replace the lime with orange or any other citrus essential oil. Please note. You can only use pure essential oil for this recipe. Using fragrance oil is not the same. I discourage the use of imitation fragrance oils in everything you make. Fragrance oils cause harm to your body and the environment. There are no real regulations that control what the manufacturer puts into the fragrance oil, therefore you can't be sure what you are putting on your skin.

create your own product testing kit
The only real way to make sure you have adequate preservative in you product is to test it for bacteria, mold and fungus. This can be a pretty expensive process if you hire a lab to do your testing, and it's also expensive to buy a test kit for every batch of lotion and cosmetics you make. The solution is to make your own custom test kits. This is a very cost effective and accurate way to keep your customers safe and to give your company credibility for making sure you are using the right preservative as well as the right amount. Testing your products for Mold, Fungus and Bacteria is important for your reputation and the safety of those using your products. If you take the time to test your products and you are strict with your procedure, there is no reason you should not state on your label that there has been vigorous testing of your products.

Final look at the test batch
This video was recorded 1 full month after the creams were put into the petri dishes with the agars. There are all kinds of mold and fungus growths happening. This is the ultimate challenge for the cream. If there are no growths on the cream itself, then the preservative is working. If there are growths, this particular preservative has failed and it's back to the drawing board.
