Natural Handmade Soaps: Newest Varieties

As the last days of summer break slip too-quickly by, I've tried to fit some soapmaking-time in between our summer activities.  Here are the latest limited- edition all-natural soap varieties that I've come up with:

I hope to post these on my website soon, for pre-orders, as there are precious few of each variety ("limited edition" is real): 

"Banana Blossom", "Buttercream Mint", "Rosemary-Lime", "Lemon Drop", "Vanilla Mountain", "Mr. Romance", "Lavender Ripples", and Lavender-Oatmeal-Poppyseed "Taters"

Happy Soaping to All!  ~Becky

Moonlit Lavender? Lavender Mist?

I was pouring soap for a special-order...my regular ol' Lavender Oatmeal.  However, the order was not going to be an entire batch, soooo...Becky decided to get creative with the remaining soap.

I used some Alkanet powder, mixed with just a tad bit of olive oil, mixed in at trace.

The results are rather un-remarkable.  The top of the soap is actually a nice "frosty" lavender.  The rest though, I just don't know.  I sure hope it gets a bit more lavender-ey as it cures.

I do like it better than the old way with no color.  At least I can look at it and know immediately what variety it is. (Without my normal "crazed sniffing" -a great benefit of colored soaps -no matter how pitiful the color may be! he he)

I'm sure it will grow on me...it seems they always do after a day or so, when I've released my expectations and just appreciate them as they are.

At least no one will say "Oh, they're too pretty to use!"  LOL   Boy do they smell good, though!  : )

I can't decide whether to call it Moonlit Lavender,  Lavender Mist, or maybe Lavender Frost....what do you think?   Would any of these names help you decide to buy this funky colored soap?

Happy Skin!
