Fragrances in Cold Process Soap

The idea for this soap was born when Andee texted me a fragrance blend she’d created for one of our customers. The idea the customer wanted was a citrusy, oceany fragrance. Andee combined 2 parts Lemon Zinger Fragrance Oil with 1 part Sea Salt Fragrance Oil, and the result was […]

I can’t help but call this soap Spuds. It probably has more to do with the shape of the soap, but don’t these look just like potatoes? I used our Soap Stone silicone mold, which makes a rounded stone-like shape. It’s a comfortable shape to hold in the hand. And […]
