Alexis and I have
been having so much fun making soap! Between exciting goat deliveries (more on
that soon, Lord willing), home schooling and the never ending laundry pile we
have been able to whip up eleven batches of goat's milk soap in preparation for
some upcoming Spring Craft Fairs. My soap racks are overflowing!
Almond is always a
popular seller, so we made sure to make extra. Lots of folks like the Oatmeal
Almond Scrub bar as well. We used our tried and true lard recipe which holds up
well with the added oatmeal, along with 2 ounces of Brambleberry's Cybilla
Almond scent.
At a light trace I
poured about 1/4 of the soap mixture back into my oil pan, then added my scents
and superfatted the original batch with the Castor Oil for extra luxurious
bubbles and conditioning. Next I added the oatmeal, and mixed it back up to a
thicker trace before pouring it into the mold.
The bottom layer
turns that pretty brown from the Almond scent, with the plain white soap poured
on top for some contrast, and a dash of cinnamon for an added dramatic effect.
Beautiful!
These should be ready for sale by the middle of March.
Let me know if you want to pre-order some before they're all sold out!
