Enchanted Soap Bars

I love using my spirit lifter bar each morning. It really helps ease me into the transition of starting my day. The small boost I get from it makes social interactions a bit more bearable.

    Olive Brambleheart and her family sell these specialized products at their shop. They're all cold process soap made with ethically sourced, natural materials. Each set has a different enchantment that activates after use.       The two main ingredients used in this process are a lye water solution and an oil. Sublime Soaps has their own unique blend; it's a company secret. This acts as the soap base to customize and fill molds with.   A variety of substances may be added to this blend during the process. Skin safe scents and dyes, bio glitter, milk, and dried flowers are some options. Some materials are mixed into the base while others usually only decorate the top of the bar.   For these bars in particular, special magic grade items are also used to provide their enchantments.       The night before making a batch, the lye water solution is mixed and set in a cool area. It's then mixed into the oil blend until it's well incorporated. From here the process varies depending on the design of the bar.   Scents, dyes, and any other mix-ins are added next. If needed, the batch is split into separate bowls for different colors and pouring effects. Then the soap maker pours the blend into their molds following the design plan. Molds are typically long loafs or square slabs.   The tops are either left plain or decorated. Designs vary from swirling the colors to piping on whipped soap and embeds made from a melt and pour base. Once finished, they are set aside to cure.   After 24-38 hours, the bars are firm enough to de-mold and cut into individual bars. They're then set aside to finish the curing process before they can be sold. It takes between 4 and 6 weeks to fully cure. This allows for water to evaporate and create a firmer bar that lasts longer in the end.  

Remember everyone, always wear your gloves and protective eye ware when mixing batches and handling uncured bars. Lye is dangerous to your bare skin. If you notice any bars with unincorporated lye, let me know right away and we'll dispose of it properly.
