Chevron Swirl Cold Process Soap Recipe
Create a chevron pattern in cold process soap using this advanced soapmaking technique. This palm-free, vegan recipe accompanies the Chevron Swirl tutorial video (Technique Video #31) and uses the same base recipe as the Budding Vine Swirl Cold Process Soap Recipe.
The Chevron Swirl technique requires an understanding of trace and the ability to work quickly. Use a fragrance that does not discolor or accelerate the batter, allow the batter to reach the appropriate trace, and avoid excessive stick blending.
The palm-free, vegan base recipe can also be used for other soap batches and is suitable for beginners.
