Making a Ghost Swirl Soap | Soap Challenge Club

I created this ghost swirl soap using two different lye solution strengths and a hanger swirl. My formal Soap Challenge Club entry is on Instagram @kapiamerasoap
Thank you so much for watching!

The Ghost Swirl was created by Clara Lindberg of Auntie Clara’s Handcrafted Cosmetics and taught to us this month by Amy Warden, host of the Soap Challenge Club. Many thanks to Clara for sharing so much detailed information about the ghost swirl technique and to Amy for another awesome soap challenge!

••• SAFETY INFO •••

Remember to always wear safety glasses and gloves when making soap. Lye and raw soap can severely damage your eyes and burn your skin, so be sure to practice safe handling procedures during the entire soapmaking process, even during cleanup.

This is an advanced technique dealing with different lye concentrations. If you’re a beginner and would like more information on lye safety or basic soapmaking, check out these links:
