Tidal Flow Cold Process Soap Recipe
Explore two complementary techniques in this intermediate-level cold process soapmaking project. The Tidal Flow design combines an in-the-pot swirl, which layers differently colored soap batters in the pitcher, with a line pour (also called a wall pour), which describes how the batter is poured to create flowing, wave-like patterns in the finished soap.
