Travels in Canada

Email me to Order or go to - The Soap Dragon - Handmade Soap - Tilted Layers Milk Soap - Temple Spa | eBay

Description – In Canada we visited a fabulous spa on the roof of a building where the hot spring waters are piped up from deep in the earth. This design replicates the view from the side of the main pool down into the depths. It was a simple angled pour, the mould slipped slightly so the dark line isn’t as level as I’d like.

Ingredients: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Whole Milk (DAIRY), Elacis Guineensis (Palm) Fruit Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond NUTS) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, White Kaolin Clay.

Canada Place Shea Butter Soap

Watch it made on You Tube – https://youtu.be/8Bmxjbqz1lo

Email me to Order, or go to - The Soap Dragon - Snowbound - Layered Shea Butter Soap with Tilted Layers | eBay

Description - Canada Place was the port where we boarded the cruise ship Nordam in Vancouver. The coastline was a combination of tall forest and white buildings, with the occasional seabird floating by. This soap is probably my most challenging so far, combining many intricate sculpted layers.

Ingredients: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Oil, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, White Kaolin Clay.

Colourants: Titanium Dioxide, Matcha Tea, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Powder, Blue and Brown Mica.

Buffalo Burger Shea Butter Soap

Watch it made on You Tube – https://youtu.be/VB5ogWVyN6s

Email me to Order, or go to - The Soap Dragon - Buffalo Burger Layered Shea Butter Soap | eBay

Description - Food in Canada was fabulous, so what other way could I do it justice than by creating my own buffalo burger? With layers of M+P and sculpted soap this is – although not a unique design – an interesting one. I’m not quite satisfied with the colours yet, this will take some future re-making, probably switching to a Milk Soap base as it keeps the colours true during saponification. The order of fillings is also likely to change between batches.

Ingredients: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Oil, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Melt and Pour Glycerine Soap Base, Poppy Seeds, White Kaolin Clay.

Colourants: Titanium Dioxide, Green, Red, Yellow and Brown Mica.

Fragrance: Dragon’s Blood

Batch No. 2009. 100g Per Bar.

5+ AVAILABLE

Reflecting the snowy plains of Canada, this soap uses angled layers and lines of charcoal to create a vast landscape, decorated with carved details filled in with Melt and Pour.
