Made with classic holiday colors and a touch of gold, this Elderberry Swirl Soap soap is perfect for holiday gifts! It's scented with Elderberry and Evergreen Fragrance Oil - a complex and festive blend of berries and spruce. It behaves wonderfully in cold process soap, which is important for this swirling technique.

The swirling technique for this soap is called a linear swirl. It's a more advanced soap project, so we recommend having a good understanding of trace before attempting this soap. To help give us plenty of time to swirl, we used the Swirl Quick Mix which has plenty of slow-moving oils.

    Hooray! I was so glad to see a new CP soap with Anne Marie. I would love to see a video of the desert collection's layered soap. I will have to try mixing elderberry with evergreen. I have the evergreen fragrance oil and it's great!

    Beautiful! Do u ever add to your basic soap batter? Like, oatmeal, clay, aloe, stuff like that? I have a question. A soap maker on YouTube n TikTok she made a soap with apple cider vinegar. How did she do that? U tell us that vinegar neutralizes lye. If thatโ€™s the case how can she add it to her soap?
  • @EthanThomas-th6ps
    Personally I would want to wait until the soap is 5-6 weeks until using. I have used it when the soap was 3 weeks out and it was a little harsh. And yes it had the perfect lye to oil ratio. I used Bramble berry's calculator.

    Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ I have a question that how can we get good PH in cold process soap after curing? Thanks for all the awesome videos๐ŸŽ‰
  • @carolp5993
    Thank you for this lovely recipe. Is there another mold I can use for this that you sell that is less expensive? I really can't take the leap right now to buy this wooden mold and cavity set you use here. I was thinking of using the Brambleberry Tall 12 Silicone Loaf Mold? Will it fit in this mold? Thanks
