• I have been curious about African Black Soap for a long time. In this video, I use Bramble Berry's African Black Soap Kit and Quick Mix to make 2 Cold Process soap designs. I also discuss how to get a true black using activated charcoal. I give tips and tricks throughout this video, and as I cut my soap, I critique my designs. I'm all about learning here!
Thank you for liking, subscribing, commenting, and sharing! It is a big help, and so appreciated! https://www.youtube.com/c/TreeMarieSoapworks?sub_confirmation=1
***If you have never made cold process soap, please research the basics of soap making, especially *LYE SAFETY.*
