Inside the Zen Seed factory in Ajijic, Delia O'Rourke (right), owner of Zen Seed, adds the lye-water mixture to the hot oil while one of her employees keeps the mixture in motion.
Measuring out incense powder to add to the oil. Zen Seed makes dozens of scents of soap and is constantly trying out new ones.
The aromatic additive, in this case incense, is added to the oil while one person maintains a constant stir and the other uses an immersion blender to evenly distribute the powder.
Delia and her daughter, Sofia, mix smaller batches of certain aromas which will be combined with other soap to create a multi-colored, multi-scented soap.
Stirring, stirring. The soap needs to be stirred until it lightens in color and develops a "trace." Before electric mixers, this could take hours, but today this happens within minutes.
Covering the soap so it cools down at the right speed. The soap needs at least 24 hours to cure to the right hardness.
