,

One of soaps clear glycerin soap (Upper left)
Another is a cake of soap made of
granular soap material. (Upper right)

These are made of the same material using the mold for ice cube
They look like candies.

(Middle right)
This is a bath fizz made by using
the same mold as glycerin soap.
It's melting while frothing when
it was put in the bathtub
filled with water because its
material is baking soda and citric acid
.

this time. Left one is the exclusive mold for soap and right one is the mold for cookies.

It's a wreath
