How to Make Calendula Soap 🌼 a cold process calendula soap recipe

Calendula is the only flower that retains its natural color in soap recipes. In this video, I show you a simple way to make calendula soap using the cold process method. It creates about ten bars of soap, and you can use fresh or dried flowers to make it. We add the petals to both the oils and the lye solution, creating gorgeous yellow bars with flecks of orange petals.

Hello, I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much for the recipe! I just have a question, is the soap for both body and face or just body?

[karenhaley]

I think when i added my lye water, the oil wasnt cool enough and it didnt gell right after i put it in the mold, its oily and not at all smooth... Can i melt it down again with a little water to smooth it out and remold it?

[lorrainedudzinski]

Lovely video, after the second day you said to still wear gloves because of the lye, what happens to the lye after this time? does it totally disappear?

[PatJarrett]

i was so happy to see that you have a calendula soap recipe! I just so happen to have a large zip- lock back full of dried calendula blossoms from our old house before we sold it! For me this will be a wonderful stroll through memory lane with all the garden meant to me and to know that a piece of it will be made into soap and shared. Thank you so much!

[amberatwood]
