I putted caustic soda to Dokudami water directly though… the beautiful green color turned to black by sodium hydroxide(caustic soda) decomposition…

Note: maybe this is not good, but still ok and I keep making.

写真

Make the oil and Dokudami-caustic-soda-liquid to 40 degrees Celsius,

写真

put Dokudami-caustic-soda-liquid to oil and stir.

写真

Ummmm, it should be green but I put caustic soda directly and made it this color… 🙁
I should have divide dokudami water and caustic soda water :'(

写真

when I stir around 20 min, the color came to light, so I was releifed a little bit.
A trace is starting come up on the surface,

写真

there is remain of dokudami leaves,

写真

put the traced liquid and stir,

写真

then turn it back to main liquid and stir.
It seems the looks coming good!?

写真

put into milk carton,

写真

put lid by packing tape, then put it on foamed styrol box to keep warm.

写真

in 24 hours later,,,

I prayed it’s ok..!!(>_<) And I opened the lid. 写真

Oh~, it’s got hard~!
And also the color turned to green!?

写真

took the every carton out.
Isn’t the looks good?

写真

But when I cut the bar, the cross section surface was brown~.
Anyway it’s not bad, the looks ok as soap.

写真

Tada-!
This is the first time I made Dokudami soap~.
It takes a month to dry it out.
