Soapwork : My first handmade soap - Bear on Jelly Roll

This jelly roll soap was made in the kitchen yesterday! i pickup some recipe from the internet and modified to match the ingredients i have on hand. It was a big hoo-haa happened in the kitchen as things does not turn out as expected. My soap took longer time than i expected to be fully melted and it gets harden faster than i expect too! 


The bear doesn't turn out to be "visible" as they were cut and my friend couldn't even see a bear is there.. (but it is there!!!) After all the effort and ad-hoc on spot correction, this is the end product! Bear on Jelly Roll.. "black hearted soap" came across my mind during that time if use a heart shape mold. i plan to remake these soaps during the weekend after i took this photo.. 


Oh ya, a little introduction on my soap, it is added with rose geranium essential oil, purple gromwell root powder (turn my soap into grey><), charcoal powder. Even the soap doesnt looks nice but the property is not affected.


Charcoal powder - absorb skin impurities, excess oil.


Purple gromwell root powder - detoxifying, stimulate tissue regeneration effect, ant- flammatory. 


Rose geranium essential oil-balance between oily and dry skin, keeping the skin supple and clearing congested skin and the emotions-where it helps to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety, and to balance the hormone system.
