Embeds are items (usually soap) that is embedded into the soap batter to create images or patterns in the final product. The soap embeds can be made from previously poured soaps or soap dough. Most often, embeds are used in loaf soaps so, when cut into bars, the images run through each bar of soap. Below are some examples of embeds in our soaps.
