Soap Making Instructional ~ Tutorial:
Adzuki & Asian Olive Tapenade Spa Soap
Learn how to make adzuki goat's milk soap. Also referred to as Aduki or Azuki Bean, has been used in Japanese skin care regimens for centuries. Ground adzuki beans exfoliate skin leaving a soft, radiant glow. They are probably the closest thing to a face lift without the need to undergo surgery. Grind the bean to a powder and use in soaps.
Here's what you need:
Suspension Soap Base (see below for how much is needed)
Goat's Milk Soap Base If using the Mold Market Groovy Bar mold, you will need 1.5 ounces of soap per mold cavity mixed with 3 ounces of suspension soap base.
Olive Asian Tapenade Fragrance Oil We recommend using 2 1/2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of soap base.
Glass Measuring Cup
Microwave to Melt Soap
Adzuki Beans We added 1full tablespoon of ground beans to the melted soap base. You will need to eyeball the amount based on how much exfoliating properties you want your soaps to have.
Mold Market Groovy Bar Spa Mold
Handmade Paper and Printer for printing labels
