This soap is made with the Taiwan Swirl technique. It involves using separators in the mold and then using a skewer to swirl them together. This recipe has a full water amount and 60% liquid oils to keep the soap fluid long enough to swirl it. The soap is scented with a fragrance that balances wood notes such as cedarwood and amber woods with sage and eucalyptus. It is a great unisex scent!
