✅ Buy the soaps: Available in the UK, limited quantities, only £3 each! Grab yours here: https://www.sussexsoap.co.uk/ Welcome back to the channel! In today’s video, I’ll be showing you how to create a beautiful black and white cold process soap using an easy and effective in-the-pot swirl technique. This design is perfect for beginners and gives a stunning marbled effect every time! We’re working with a nourishing blend of natural oils and butters including coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil, castor oil, and sweet almond oil, and colouring the soap naturally with activated charcoal. The soap is scented with rich, earthy patchouli essential oil, giving it a classic, grounding fragrance. To finish, we decorate the top with handmade mini soap balls, adding a unique and eye-catching detail to each bar. ✨ This soap will be part of our monthly soap release, available on the last Sunday of the month at 5:30pm on our website!
