Green and Yellow Homemade Soap was cut today and added to the inventory of products for the online marketing effort. I tried another batch of with a bit of color and fragrance. This Ginger-Lime in yellow and green has a textured top and a fresh but not artificial lime fragrance.. This one contained a bunch of different oils and I made a 5 lb batch that yielded 16 large 7 oz. bars. I have included a list of the components below and you can see the recipe has a strong blen of fine quality base oils. This should result in a luxurious bar with good lather and gentle properties.
It needs a couple of weeks to dry and harden sufficiently before use, but I’ll update the outcome.
