Lavender Linen Swirl Bars (Recipe)

Base idea: soft lavender and white swirl, calming scent.

Ingredients:

• 500 g white melt-and-pour base
• ¼–½ tsp lavender or purple mica, or purple Brazilian clay
• 8–10 g lavender essential oil
• Optional: up to 2 g bergamot FCF or a soft vanilla fragrance for warmth

Swirl steps:

1. Melt the base as usual, then divide evenly into two jugs (~250 g each).
2. Color one jug with lavender/purple colorant; leave the other white.
3. Add the essential oil blend, splitting the amount between both jugs.
4. In your loaf mold, alternate pouring small amounts of white and purple soap in the center or in random “blobs.”
5. When the mold is mostly full, drag a skewer or chopstick through the soap in loose S-shapes or figure-eights.
6. Spritz with alcohol and let set before cutting into bars.
