Fun with Salt

Lately, I've been making Soleseife (German for salt water soap) or Brine Soap.  It's a pretty simple process that makes a really great bar of soap.  The ingredient are very basic:  Coconut Oil, Water, Sodium Hydroxide (lye) and Salt.  I also use fragrance or essential oils and colorants.  Sometimes I use other additives like coconut milk powder.  Here are a couple of examples made this week.

These bars are scented in Lime and have added coconut milk powder:

This isn't the best picture (I will take others after they cure), but they smell amazing.  These bars are scented in Black Raspberry Vanilla:

Because the brine water makes the soap harden quickly, they work very well in detailed soap molds.  Still, they are meant to be used (I'll make more).  Soleseife bars produce very nice thick lather.  I'm loving them. They will be available for purchase in 4 weeks.
