Today will be the first day of our planning stages. The idea for our presentation is to bring in little samples to test in front of the class and how our soaps progressed over the months. Next week we gather all the main soap and the week after that we will work on the learning portion. In our presentation we will provide things such as how we failed, images, our research and our expert we talked to.
Month: January 2023
Genius Hour Week 10
This week Ella and I put bubble wrap on the bottom of the soap mold to give it a honeycomb texture. We also added oats, honey, and coconut oil, all of these ingredients have good properties like exfoliation, brightening the skin, and natural moisturizing.
After letting the soap harden we took it out of the mold and removed the bubble wrap.
This is what the soap looked with the bubble wrap indents, I thought that the bubble wrap might have ruined the soap but it actually worked!
Next week we will start our presentation and show the progress throughout the months.
Genius Hour Week 9
This week Ella and I experimented with coconut oil, some benefits are antioxidants, vitamin E, and it protects the skin by creating a shield like layer. The last week we did genius hour Ella and I created a soap-bar with oats and we believe this ingredient was a step forward. With this information, we decided to make a lavender soap bar with oats and coconut oil.
This is the melted coconut oil infused with the soap base.
This is the soap after setting in the mold. This time the soap felt a lot softer and moisturizing, next time we might try to make layers in the soap.
